This book addresses the growing needs in deciphering the biological
processes associated with fish reproduction, in view of the growth
of aquaculture and the dwindling natural stocks of commercially
important fish. It presents a comprehensive overview on egg
production in fish, from the standpoint of the oocyte. With this
view in mind, the book includes chapters on oocyte development
(oogenesis), hormonal regulation and hormone receptors, formation
of the egg envelopes, growth, accumulation of nutrients and
maternal transcripts, maturation, hydration, ovulation and
fertilization. A special emphasis is placed on using
state-of-the-art tools including electron microscopy for discerning
the ultra-structure of the follicle and genomic/ proteomic tools to
fully understand biological basis of fish reproduction. Studies on
promoting oocyte maturation, ovulation and spawning in farmed fish
and preservation of fish oocytes at low temperatures are also
included.
