A comprehensive elucidation of sex differentiation gonochoric
and hermaphroditic fishes, this book examines sex chromosomes and
sex determining genes, through sex differentiation genes and
steroid receptor genes and to stem cells and germ cells. It
emphasizes the need to search for more than one sex determining
gene residing on different chromosomes, traces the origin of
hermaphrodites from secondary gonochores, and explains the
conservation of homologous sex differentiation and steroid receptor
genes among gonochores and hermaphrodites. The author highlihgts
that the changes in the phenotypic morphotypes among gonochores is
intrasexual but intersexual among hermaphrodites and identifies the
optimal broodstock size, the appropriate candidate species for bait
and food fishes and recognizes that the fishes do undergo menopause
and reproductive senescence, which has an implication on the
production of stem cells. He shows that the analysis of steriles
and mutants has demonstrated the value of fishes as a system for
genetic dissection of human development and diseases.
