TL;DR: Puberty comprises the transition from an immature juvenile to a mature adult state of the reproductive system, i.e. the individual becomes capable of reproducing sexually for the first time, which implies functional competence of the brain-pituitary-gonad (BPG) axis.

TL;DR: How manipulation of the photic cues impact on fish circannual clock and annual cycle of reproduction, and how this can be used for aquaculture purposes is discussed.

TL;DR: Treatment with a nonsteroidal inhibitor of aromatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion from androgens to estrogens, for only 2 hours when the gonads were bipotent, caused genetic females to develop into normal males, providing strong support for Yamamoto's theory that androgens and estrogens are natural sex inducers in gonochoristic fish.

TL;DR: The data are the first to provide conclusive evidence for the existence of a second KiSS gene, KiSS-2, in non-placental vertebrates, whose product is likely to play a dominant stimulatory role in the regulation of the gonadotropic axis at least in teleosts.

TL;DR: It is shown that a commercially fabricated diet can be successfully used as sensitive investigative tool for aquaculture research and facilitated comparable reproductive performance to the wet fish diet (Boops boops) which has previously been considered the most effective broodstock diet.
