Insights with Ian: Surrogate Broodstock and Stem Cell Biology in Aquaculture
Fish gonads contain stem cells than can produce viable offspring when transplanted into sterile recipients (surrogates) of a related species. Surrogate broodstock technology (SBT) is transforming our scientific understanding of reproduction and sex determination and has important potential applications in conservation biology and aquaculture breeding. A recent publication from the Institute of Marine Research in […]
