We have used various genetic and molecular approaches to investigate the mechanisms of sex determination and gonadal sex differentiation
in fish. DMY was identified as the sex-determining gene of medaka. In tilapia, endogenous estrogens act as natural inducers of ovarian
differentiation, while DMRT1 may be important for testicular differentiation. The roles of these regulators in sex determination and gonadal sex differentiation
were ascertained using a gene or hormonal blockade strategy. 相似文献

Gonad development and sexual differentiation are important biological processes. More insight is needed in these processes to improve selection and breeding efficiency in the production of culture animals for monosex farm operations of commercially important shellfish species. Foxl2 is the earliest known sex dimorphic marker of ovarian differentiation in mammals, but studies on foxl2 in invertebrate species are rare. This study revealed the gonadogenesis and expression characteristics of foxl2 during the gonadal differentiation in the scallop Chlamys farreri, an important commercial mollusk in China. The result showed that C. farreri gonad becomes visible once juveniles reach a shell height of 5.5 mm. Sex can be distinguished based on gonad histology in animals with a minimum shell height of 9 mm. Expression of Cf‐foxl2 (C. farreri foxl2) was first observed in cytoplasm of ovarian germ and follicle cells, just after the initiation of ovarian differentiation. Results indicate that Cf‐foxl2 can be used as an early sex‐marker gene, and may have participated in the regulation of ovary differentiation in C. farreri. 相似文献

The aim of this review is to present an overview of the sex differentiation and sex determination processes in eels in relation to the urgent need to provide scientific knowledge to better protect and manage the Anguilla genus. Indeed, the global decline of the three main temperate eel stocks, Anguilla anguilla, Anguillidae (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2003, 10, 365); Anguilla japonica, Anguillidae (Casselman, Eel Biology, Springer Japan, 2003, 293) and Anguilla rostrata, Anguillidae (Tatsukawa, Eel Biology, Springer, Japan, 2003, 255), raises concerns about the necessity to better understand all stages of the life cycle of eels (Righton and Walker, Journal of Fish Biology, 2013, 83, 754). Little is known about the mechanisms involved in the production of males and females in this species with environmental sex determination. Previous reviews identifying the density of individuals as the major factor influencing sex determination were undertaken (Krueger and Oliveira, Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1999, 55, 381; Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2005, 15, 37). Here, we review the current advances on the subject, focusing on the roles of early growth rate and interindividual relationships, which are mechanisms underpinned by density, as well as the sex differentiation process, and we question how this knowledge might influence global conservation measures. 相似文献

The pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes 1835) and the Patagonian pejerrey Odontesthes hatcheri (Eigenmann 1909) are Atherinopsid species with commercial importance and potential for aquaculture. The hybrids of the two species are viable but their mode of sex determination is unknown. This study examined the gonadal histology and sex ratios of reciprocal hybrids that were reared at 15, 17, 21, 25 or 29 °C during the sex differentiation period. The genetic sex of hybrids from O. hatcheri fathers was inferred from a sex‐linked SNP marker. Both hybrids showed female‐biased sex ratios at the lowest temperature, female‐biased to balanced sex ratios at intermediate temperatures and balanced or male‐biased sex ratios at 29 °C, but unlike in purebred O. bonariensis, the lowest and highest temperatures did not yield monosex populations. The proportion of females in the offspring was affected more by parental genome than by hybrid combination. Female hybrids bearing the O. hatcheri Y chromosome showed temporary arrest of ovarian development that was rescued in adults. These results reveal strong interactions between genotype and temperature for sex determination and differentiation of the hybrids and provide important clues to understand the mechanisms of sex determination in these species. 相似文献

该论文首次报道了经由促雄性腺提取物的注射而在蟹类中引起的性逆转现象。此前关于蟹类促雄性腺活性研究的报道极少，而且蟹类的雄性化均是由促雄性腺的移植所产生。本实验中将锯缘青蟹和中华绒螯蟹的促雄性腺提取物分别注射到刚刚完成性别分化的中华绒螯蟹雌性幼蟹体内，此时幼蟹处于4至5期，壳宽为5～8 mm。注射之后，幼蟹经过大约1～2次蜕皮，此时在注射锯缘青蟹以及中华绒螯蟹的促雄性腺提取物的两组实验幼蟹中均能观察到雄性化现象，而注射生理盐水的对照组实验幼蟹中未能观察到相同现象。由此本实验可以证明促雄性腺确实是蟹类的一种雄性激素，注射促雄性腺提取物能引起雌性幼蟹发生性逆转；同时根据锯缘青蟹和中华绒螯蟹的促雄性腺提取物均能引起中华绒螯蟹雌性幼蟹发生性逆转的现象推测，锯缘青蟹和中华绒螯蟹两种间可能存在促雄性腺的交叉活性；不仅如此，性逆转还能在极低的注射剂量下获得，相当于中华绒螯蟹0.14促雄性腺当量和锯缘青蟹0.06促雄性腺当量。 相似文献

Males of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man) grow faster and reach a larger size at harvest than females of the species. It is thus obvious that culture of monosex all‐male populations would be economically advantageous. Sexual differentiation in crustaceans is regulated by the androgenic gland (AG), which plays a pivotal role in the regulation of male differentiation and in the inhibition of female differentiation. In M. rosenbergii, AG removal from immature males resulted in sex reversal, with complete female differentiation. Similarly, AG implantations into immature females lead to the development of the male reproductive system. Sex‐reversed M. rosenbergii animals were capable of mating with normal specimens to produce offspring. Early attempts in Israel and more recently, attempts in other countries to establish all‐male populations through manual segregation showed that for the production of monosex prawn populations to be economically feasible, intervention via the AG is probably required. However, a suitable biotechnology is still to be developed, and an androgenic hormone has yet to be identified in decapods. Three lines of aquacultural and biotechnological research and development are proposed for the future: (1) Establishment of monosex cultures through manual segregation, together with the application of selective harvesting and claw ablation, as well as examination of different monosex culture strategies under a variety of economic conditions. (2) Microsurgical intervention in the AG, leading to the development of functional neo‐females, which would subsequently be mated with normal males to produce all‐male progeny. (3) Elucidation of AG bioactive products to enable biochemical or molecular manipulation of sex differentiation. 相似文献

This research was implemented to study the effects of androgenic gland ablation in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei to explore sex reversal potential as an alternative technology for monosex female mariculture based on the sex dimorphic growth of this species. The surgical procedure was applied to male postlarvae (PL) at different ages, after external sex differentiation, as well as in sex undifferentiated PL. Andrectomized males regenerated normal appendices including pereiopods and pleopods; however, body growth and relative size of regenerated petasmas and appendices masculinae were statistically inferior (P ? 0.05) to control males. Spermatogenesis in andrectomized males was active, but a phenomenon of degradation of spermatids and reproductive tissues was detected. No sex reversal was accomplished regardless of PL age from sex undifferentiated stages (PL38) to sex differentiated stages (?PL55). The complete regeneration of sexual characters in andrectomized L. vannamei (Dendrobranchiata) is different from previous reports from Decapoda. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Dopamine at concentrations of 0.15, 1.5, and 15.0 mg/kg was included in two different formulated diets that were fed to recently metamorphosed postlarvae of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, for 60 days. Dopamine, in the form of dopamine hydrochlo-ride, was incorporated into the formulated diets by either solubilizing it in alcohol, followed by submersion of diet and evaporation, or inclusion in a lipid premix ingredient. The alcohol evaporation method at 0.15, 1.5, and 15.0 mg/kg significantly increased the percentage of individuals without external male characteristics. This research is the first reported use of dietary administration of dopamine to crustaceans, and the first documentation of the apparent dietary control of gonadal development and sex differentiation in crustaceans. Replication of results, a histological examination of a large sample of individuals, and continued monitoring of those individuals fed the dietary dopamine are needed to verify the apparent effect. 相似文献

In a controlled experiment, elvers (Anguilla anguilla L.) were reared for 137 weeks at 17, 20 and 26°C. Most eels with macroscopically sexable gonads were males. The proportions of females were 14% of sexable individuals at 26°C and 7–8% at 17 and 20°C. During the first 15 weeks, 20–50% of initial numbers were lost, but this early mortality was not significantly size selective. In spite of a long term experiment, a significant number of the survivors never attained a sexable size. Nongrowers (7–9 cm) were still alive nearly three years after being caught as glass eels. Among the earliest fast growers, 5% females, or less, were found. The proportion of females increased in later grading groups, but the pattern of increase did not indicate that males and females have separated mean ranks in a fixed growth hierarchy. Water temperature influenced observed sex ratios, but probably not through direct influence on the sex differentiation. Some alternative hypotheses, dealing with population density and individual growth status, are discussed. 相似文献

性别异形在动物界广泛存在,长期以来一直是生物学中的热门话题。黄喉拟水龟性别分化属温度依赖型,其温度响应分子机制仍不清楚。为了进一步解析龟鳖动物性别分化的分子机制,本研究初步比较分析了黄喉拟水龟转录本中性别差异表达(different expressed, DE)的长链非编码RNA(long noncoding RNA, lncRNA)及其调控的靶基因。首先,运用Illumina深度测序平台,通过转录组测序(RNA-Seqs)对黄喉拟水龟的精巢和卵巢进行了比较转录组学分析并筛选鉴定出雌雄差异转录本,共筛选获得8 237个DE mRNA和9 573个DE lncRNA。通过GO功能注释及 KEGG通路富集分析发现,上述差异转录本主要参与龟鳖动物性别分化和性腺发育等相关信号通路。此外,通过顺式和反式作用分析,筛选获得了一系列与生殖发育相关的(性腺发育和性别分化)受DE lncRNAs调控的靶基因。本研究为进一步阐明黄喉拟水龟温度依赖型性别的分子机制提供了线索,特别是为进一步挖掘利用龟鳖动物性别决定因子,进行龟鳖动物性控育种技术研究奠定了基础。 相似文献

Genetic and environmental factors may interact to control sex determination in fishes. A common pattern of initial female differentiation and subsequent male transformation before maturation in non‐hermaphroditic fishes and after maturation in sequentially hermaphroditic fishes has suggested that changes in developmental timing may be responsible for the evolution of various expressions of sexual lability. Sequential hermaphroditism is rare in freshwater fishes, but investigators report degrees of sexual lability at four distinct life stages in cichlid fishes. Some cichlids undergo genetic sex determination and are not labile. Lability at the larval stage allows temperature or pH to determine sex. Social interactions apparently determine sex at the juvenile stage in the Midas cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus). Most reports of post‐maturational sex change in cichlids are anecdotal or unsubstantiated. The common occurrence of same‐sex spawning suggests that many species are incapable of sex change. Sequential hermaphroditism is concluded not to be typical, except for the checkerboard cichlid (Crenicara punctulata), which regularly undergoes functional female‐to‐male transformation. Expression of sexual lability at four life stages in one family of fishes corroborates a role for developmental timing in the evolution of sequential hermaphroditism as well as environmentally controlled sex determination. The broad phylogenetic distribution of sexual lability in cichlids indicates that processes capable of producing sex change are generally present. The rarity of sequential hermaphroditism in cichlids and possibly other freshwater fishes is likely due to unpredictability of food and therefore potential mate distributions compared with coral reef habitats. 相似文献

Abstract – Changes in the numbers and size-class structure of European silver eels, Anguilla anguilla , in the River Frémur (France) were examined over a 9-year period after installation of downstream eel passes. The number of silver eels migrating downstream peaked in 1999, then decreased strongly and steadily after 2000, reaching relatively low levels. At the same time, a gradual shift in the silver eel sex ratio from a dominance of males (size from 270 to 442 mm, age from 3 to 6 years) to females (size from 366 to 1112 mm, age from 4 to 9 years) was recorded. Possible explanations for the escapement patterns observed are environmental sex determination and the installation of eel passes on the main hydraulic engineering structures in 1992 and 1996. 相似文献

Exogenous steroids alter sex differentiation in fish substantially. In the present study we have evaluated the effects of 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) and oestrogen receptor antagonist Tamoxifen (TA) on gonadal development and skewness of the sex ratio in all-female tench juveniles. In the first two experiments, sexually undifferentiated juveniles were orally treated with three doses of MT and TA (50, 100 and 150 mg kg−1 ). Both the treatments resulted in a moderate dose-dependent masculinization, with neomale production ranging from 17% (50 mg kg−1 ) to 26% (150 mg kg−1 ) for the MT only treatment, and from 0% (50 mg kg−1 ) to 27% (100 mg kg−1 ) only for the TA treatment respectively. In the third experiment treatment of sexually differentiated tench females with single steroid treatments or combinations of the two resulted in populations composed of females and intersex individuals. The significantly highest occurrence of intersex individuals (45.5%) was found in the group subjected to combine treatment of MT+TA (150+200 mg kg−1 ). No masculinization effect of the single or the combined treatment occurred. It can be concluded that oral treatment with MT or TA only slightly modifies the normal process of sex differentiation in gynogenetic tench juvenile, but treatment with the above-mentioned combinations has a highly significant potential to skew the sex ratio in sexually differentiated tench females. However, from an applied point of view, the treatment procedure will need optimization before use at a commercial level. 相似文献

To clarify the process of sex differentiation in protandrous anemone fish, histological structure of their gonads was examined from 1 day to 214 days after hatching (dah). Gonadal development was first characterized by differentiation of ovarian tissues at 61 dah, followed by interspersed appearance of testicular tissues in the ovary at 214 dah. 相似文献
