Sex determinism in Fish - the Belgian team case studies
- Open Repository and Bibliography (University of Liège) : 1-1
Résumé
This communication is a short presentation of the Belgian team (University of Liège) works on sex determintion in fish. Our works begun during the late 90's with sex determinism studies on tilapia, Oreochromis aureus and O. niloticus, concerning sex reversal procedure with exogenous steroids and temperature during the labile period of sex differentiation.
Thereafter, we focused mainly on O. niloticus and on very early differentiation process, during embryogenesis. In parallel, we study the sex determination in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) a potential candidate for inland aquaculture. Now, we developed research on African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, that display an important TSD.
