Ambient temperature modulates reproductive processes, especially in poikilotherms such as
teleosts. Consequently, global warming is expected to impact the reproductive function of …

Protocols for the cryopreservation of fish gametes have been developed for many different
fish species, in special, freshwater salmonids and cyprinids. Methods for sperm freezing …

While the field of epigenetics is increasingly recognized to contribute to the emergence of
phenotypes in mammalian research models across different developmental and …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an abundant environmental contaminant and studies have shown the
presence of BPA in the urine of over 90% of population tested in Canada and USA. In …

Epigenetic inheritance has been proposed to contribute to adaptation and acclimation via
two information channels:(i) inducible epigenetic marks that enable transgenerational …

Over the past 25 years, extensive research in vertebrate species has identified several
genomic pathways altered by exposures to anthropogenic chemicals with hormone-like …

Epigenetics has attracted considerable attention with respect to its potential value in many
areas of agricultural production, particularly under conditions where the environment can be …

Post-fertilization epigenome reprogramming erases epigenetic marks transmitted through
gametes and establishes new marks during mid-blastula stages. The mouse embryo …

Fish sperm motility is nowadays considered the best biomarker for the quality of fish
spermatozoa, and sperm motion parameters from more than 300 fish species have been …

Rapid climate change is placing many marine species at risk of local extinction. Recent
studies show that epigenetic mechanisms (eg DNA methylation, histone modifications) can …
