Induction of gametogenesis of pre-pubertal greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) using recombinant gonadotropins (GtHs).

Greater amberjack, Seriola dumerili (Risso, 1810) is a leading candidate species for enhancing European aquaculture, Mediterranean greater amberjack does not mature consistently in tanks, it needs a significantly longer period than the wild specimen.In this task which is the core of the thesis, Seriola dumerili recombinant FSH and LH (sdrFSH and sdrLH), produced as single chain gonadotropins in heterologous expression system, will be used to induce maturation in tanks. Considering that this is the first trial, is not possible develop a proper discussion until the end of the trial.
