Controlling the sex ratio is essential in finfish farming. A balanced sex ratio is usually good
for broodstock management, since it enables to develop appropriate breeding schemes …

At present, aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of animal food production and holds
great potential as a sustainable solution for world food security. The ability to control sex is …

Abstract The Amazon River Basin contains the world's highest fish species diversity, with a
hydrologic cycle that creates a patchy distribution of floodplain lakes at low water and affords …

Fish exhibit the greatest diversity of all vertebrates, making this group extremely attractive for
the study of a number of evolutionary questions. Fish genomes have intrinsic characteristics …

Satellites are an abundant source of repetitive DNAs that play an essential role in the
chromosomal organization and are tightly linked with the evolution of sex chromosomes …

The detection of regions of heterochromatin has been the subject of intense investigation.
We investigated an adaptation of the commonly used technique by replacing the …

Supernumerary (B) chromosomes have been shown to contain a wide variety of repetitive
sequences. For this reason, fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a useful tool for …

In recent years, the land area under agriculture has declined as also has the rate of growth
in agricultural productivity while the demand for food continues to escalate. The world …

Sex dimorphism of economic traits such as growth rate and body size have potential
breeding value in aquaculture. Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides L.) is an important …

Eukaryotic genomes contain large amounts of repetitive DNA sequences, such as tandemly
repeated satellite DNAs (satDNAs). These sequences are highly dynamic and tend to be …
