Sexually dimorphic gene expressions in eels: useful markers for early sex assessment in a conservation context
23 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Environmental sex determination (ESD) has been detected in a range of vertebrate reptile and fish species. Eels are characterized by an ESD that occurs relatively late, since sex cannot be histologically determined before individuals reach 28 cm. Because several eel species are at risk of extinction, assessing sex at the earliest stage is a crucial management issue. Based on preliminary results of RNA sequencing,...
