Journal ArticleDOI
Control of puberty in farmed fish
Geir Lasse Taranger,Manuel Carrillo,Rüdiger W. Schulz,Pascal Fontaine,Silvia Zanuy,Alicia Felip,Finn-Arne Weltzien,Sylvie Dufour,Ørjan Karlsen,Birgitta Norberg,Eva Andersson,Tom Hansen +11 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broodstock management and hormonal manipulations of fish reproduction
TL;DR: Control of reproductive function in captivity is essential for the sustainability of commercial aquaculture production, and in many fishes it can be achieved by manipulating photoperiod, water temperature or spawning substrate, but a common question in regards to hormonal therapies is their effect on gamete quality.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for two distinct KiSS genes in non-placental vertebrates that encode kisspeptins with different gonadotropin-releasing activities in fish and mammals
Alicia Felip,Silvia Zanuy,Rafael Pineda,Leonor Pinilla,Manuel Carrillo,Manuel Tena-Sempere,Ana M. Gómez +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of broodstock diets for the European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) with special emphasis on the importance of n−3 and n−6 highly unsaturated fatty acid to reproductive performance
Michael P. Bruce,Ferdinand Oyen,J. Gordon Bell,Juan F. Asturiano,Bruce M. Farndale,Manuel Carrillo,Silvia Zanuy,Jesús Ramos,Niall Bromage +8 more
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.
