The use of monosex fish is intrinsically desirable in a variety of fish species in a range of
aquaculture production systems. The potential advantages sought from their use may …

Variation in the TGF-β signaling pathway is emerging as an important mechanism by which
gonadal sex determination is controlled in teleosts. Here we show that amhy, a Y-specific …

In many species of cultured finfish, females exhibit higher growth rates than males and attain
larger sizes. In addition, in some species, males mature before reaching marketable size …

We describe the results of a breeding programme for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus,
incorporating estrogeninduced sex reversal of male to female and progeny testing to …

This review deals with the complex sex determining system of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis
niloticus, governed by the interactions between a genetic determination and the influence of …

The Nile tilapia is a cultured teleost fish in which males grow faster and larger than females,
and mono-sex culturing could avoid unwanted reproduction during grow-out. Sex control in …
