An increase in aquatic animal production can be achieved by extending aquaculture areas
geographically, utilizing new species for culture, and using new technologies. Among new …

Sex differentiation is a puzzling problem in fish due to the variety of reproductive systems
and the flexibility of their sex determination mechanisms. The Sparidae, a teleost family …

Background Aquaculture is the quickest growing sector in agriculture. However, QTL for
