Journal ArticleDOI
Sex determination and sex differentiation in fish: an overview of genetic, physiological, and environmental influences
TL;DR: The lability of sex-determination systems in fish makes some species sensitive to environmental pollutants capable of mimicking or disrupting sex hormone actions, and such observations provide important insight into potential impacts from endocrine disruptors, and can provide useful monitoring tools for impacts on aquatic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Advances in Our Knowledge of the Myxozoa
Michael L. Kent,Karl B. Andree,Jerri L. Bartholomew,Mansour El-Matbouli,Sherwin S. Desser,Robert H. Devlin,Stephen W. Feist,Ronald P. Hedrick,Rudolf W. Hoffmann,Jaswinder Khattra,Sascha L. Hallett,Robert J. G. Lester,Matt Longshaw,Oswaldo Palenzeula,Mark E. Siddall,Chongxie Xiao +15 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that the Myxozoa are closely related to Cnidaria, and marine taxa at the genus level branch separately from genera that usually infect freshwater fishes; taxa cluster more by development and tissue location than by spore morphology.

TL;DR: Higher- and lower-molecular-weight fractions of libraries are shown to contain distinct gene sets, and higher rates of gene discovery are associated with higher- molecular weight libraries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brief treatment with an aromatase inhibitor during sex differentiation causes chromosomally female salmon to develop as normal, functional males
Francesc Piferrer,Silvia Zanuy,Manuel Carrillo,Igor I. Solar,Robert H. Devlin,Edward M. Donaldson +5 more
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.
