Sex determination: genetic models for oysters.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Hedrick Philip W, Hedgecock Dennis

Abstract excerpt

In oysters, sex is determined partly by environment, but previous studies employing controlled crosses suggest that genetic factors are also important. Sex ratios in both full- and half-sib families of the Pacific oyster show paternal control of sex ratio and suggest that a single major gene with 2 genotypes controls sex in the Pacific oyster, with FM oysters being male and FF oysters maturing as male or female....
