Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine seasonal variations in pituitary gonadotropins, growth hormone, and estrogen receptor mRNA in wild male and female largemouth bass to enhance understanding of their reproductive physiology.
- Female largemouth bass exhibited significant seasonal changes in gonadotropin mRNA, peaking from January to April, while male variations were more inconsistent.
- The research found a strong correlation between gonadotropin mRNA levels and reproductive indicators, suggesting that estrogen may play a crucial role in regulating gonadotropin synthesis in both sexes during reproduction.
