Final oocyte maturation <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> in marine fishes with pelagic eggs; yolk protein hydrolysis and free amino acid content
1996-06-01
Abstract excerpt
The role of free amino acids (FAA) in oocyte hydration during final maturation has been studied in plaice Pleuronectes platessa and lemon sole Microstomus kitt by in vivo and in vitro measurements. In vitro final maturation was initiated by the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin on large vitellogenic oocytes. The eggs produced in vitro had the same fraction of their total amino acid pool present in the...
