Genome evolution and biodiversity in teleost fish (2005, background): “This is particularly true for the sex chromosomes, and this phenomenon might be related to the amazing variety of sex determination systems observed in teleosts (for reviews, Baroiller and D’Cotta, 2001; Devlin and Nagahama, 2002; Volff and Schartl, 2002).”
The behaviour and ecology of the zebrafish, Danio rerio (2007, background): “…to differentiate at approximately 5-7 weeks post hatching (10-15 mm TL) through an intersexual stage, finally developing into normal testes by approximately the third month of development (12-17 mm TL), depending on strain and rearing conditions (Devlin & Nagahama, 2002; Maack & Segner, 2003).”
Fish Gonadogenesis. Part II: Molecular Biology and Genomics of Sex Differentiation (2008, background): “From a practical point of view, it is important to understand these essential biological functions to develop new methods for the control of fish reproduction in aquaculture but also to assist in fisheries management and to predict the consequences of possible anthropogenic impacts (Devlin and Nagah”
Sex-change and gonadal steroids in sequentially-hermaphroditic teleost fish (2004, background): “…et al., 1998; Strussmann and Nakamura, 2002), although it is yet to be determined whether steroids actually effectuate gonadal transition by switching the fates of existing germ cells, or whether previously-undetermined germ cells proliferate to replace existing ones (Devlin and Nagahama, 2002).”
Cold and dark or warm and light: variations on the theme of environmental control of reproduction (2003, positive): “There is evidence that arom activity is inhibited at high temperature (reviewed in Devlin and Nagahama 2002) but most studies have addressed the effects on brain arom and its role in sex-determination of larval and juvenile fishes.”
An AFLP-based approach for the identification of sex-linked markers in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (2005, background): “Nevertheless, the variability in sex chromosome organization in fishes implies that the number and type of loci involved in sex determination in fishes can be fluid among and within species (Iturra et al., 2001a; Devlin and Nagahama, 2002; Volff et al., 2003).”
Use of endoscopy for gender and ovarian stage determinations in Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) grown in aquaculture (2007, neutral): “This suggests the typical avian system for sex determination (WZ female, ZZ male; Devlin and Nagahama, 2002), in which the expected sex ratio of 1:1, operates also in sturgeon.”
Sexual determination and differentiation in teleost fish (2010, background): “All these mechanisms have been described in teleost fish, and the genes involved in sexual determination may be distributed in the genome, localized in individual chromosomes or restricted to a single genetic locus (for Review see Devlin and Nagahama 2002).”
Evolution of alternative sex-determining mechanisms in teleost fishes (2006, background): “…do not have well demarcated sex chromosomes (Harvey et al., 2002; Schwartz & Maddock, 2002), and at least some of these probably lack them entirely (Devlin & Nagahama, 2002); in at least one of our finer-focus appraisals (involving Cypriniformes), male heterogamety appeared to have evolved…”
Sex Control in Fish: Approaches, Challenges and Opportunities for Aquaculture (2015, neutral): “The term sex determination can be used to describe the genetic or environmental cue(s) that ultimately govern the sex of an individual [30].”
Sex determination and temperature-induced sex differentiation in three natural populations of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) adapted to extreme temperature conditions (2007, background): “temperaturedependent sex determination — TSD), as firstly demonstrated in the Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia (Conover and Kynard, 1981) and later documented in a growing number of species from different families (Baroiller and D'Cotta, 2001; Devlin and Nagahama, 2002 ).”
Morphology, endocrinology, and environmental modulation of gonadal sex differentiation in teleost fishes (2004, background): “…for this purpose have application, legislation, or simply consumer-acceptance problems that greatly restrict their practical utilisation (for details see the recent reviews by Pandian et al. 1999; Arai 2001; Beardmore et al. 2001; Piferrer 2001; Devlin and Nagahama 2002; Strüssmann et al. 2002).”
