TLDR
In this paper , N-terminal amino acid sequencing and liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (LC/Q-TOF-MS) analysis revealed that the 90-kDa protein was lipovitellin heavy-chain (LvH), which is one of the proteolytically cleaved products of maternal vitellogenin and represents the main precursor of the egg yolk in teleosts, and the 30-kda protein was an Nterminal bit of LvH, suggesting that the latter protein plays an important role during embryogenesis in the flounder.

Eggshell and egg yolk proteins in fish: hepatic proteins for the next generation: oogenetic, population, and evolutionary implications of endocrine disruption

TL;DR: Vitellogenesis, the process of yolk protein synthesis, transport, and uptake into the oocytes, and zonagenesis, the synthesis of eggshell zona radiata proteins, their transport and deposition by the maturing oocyte, are important aspects of oogenesis.

Ovarian follicle growth, maturation, and ovulation in teleost fish

TL;DR: It has become apparent that ovulation requires genomic activation regulated by nuclear MIH receptors, but the transduction pathways for the ovulatory MIH signal appear to be complex and are poorly understood.

Edwardsiellosis in fish: a brief review

TL;DR: Some of the recent research on edwardsiellosis are discussed, describing the pathogen’s interaction with the host and environment, its pathogenesis and pathology as well as diagnostic, preventive and control measures.

Temperature and teleost immune functions

TL;DR: The available data support the notion that, at least in channel catfish, virgin T cells, rather than memory T cell, B cells or accessory cells are particularly susceptible to the inhibitory influences of lower temperatures on adaptive immune responses.

Ontogeny of humoral immune parameters in fish.

TL;DR: The studies suggest that complement may play a role in generation of different organs, not only in the defence against invading pathogens, in fish species like coho salmon, sea bass and tilapia.
