One of the major objectives of the aquaculture industry is the production of a large number of
viable eggs with high survival. Major achievements have been made in recent years in …

Steroid hormones are involved in the regulation of a variety of processes like embryonic
development, sex differentiation, metabolism, immune responses, circadian rhythms, stress …

The production of fertile eggs with the capacity to develop into larvae and subsequently into
marketable fish is centrally important to the aquaculture industry. This entails not only the …

During the last decade, a number of studies have shown that, in addition to their classically
described reproductive function, estrogens and androgens also regulate the immune system …

Although estrogens have been generally considered to play a critical role in ovarian
differentiation in non-mammalian vertebrates, the specific functions of estrogens during …

The present study was designed to investigate potential effects of arachidonic acid (ARA) on
the reproductive physiology of female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.). Two-year old Atlantic …

In teleosts, the onset of puberty in females is marked by the appearance of the first wave of
pre-vitellogenic (PV) follicles from the pool of primary growth (PG) follicles (follicle activation) …

Global warming can disrupt reproduction or lead to fewer and poorer quality offspring, owing
to the thermally sensitive nature of reproductive physiology. However, phenotypic plasticity …
