Background: The Percidae family comprises many fish species of major importance for aquaculture and fisheries. Based on three new chromosome-scale assemblies in Perca fluviatilis, Perca schrenkii, and Sander vitreus along with additional percid fish reference genomes, we provide an evolutionary and comparative genomic analysis of their sex-determination systems.

Results: We explored the fate of a duplicated anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type-2 gene (amhr2bY), previously suggested to be the master sex-determining (MSD) gene in P.

To improve the quality of reproduction in Eurasian perch, Perca fluviatilis L., which is a promising candidate for Eurasian freshwater aquaculture that is currently cultivated in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), investigating the hormones that mediate and affect reproduction in this species is indispensable. The literature defines a group of four major corticosteroids (11-deoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, corticosterone and cortisol) that might mediate critical stages of reproduction in female perch.

Domestication is an evolutionary process during which we expect populations to progressively adapt to an environment controlled by humans. It is accompanied by genetic and presumably epigenetic changes potentially leading to modifications in the transcriptomic profile in various tissues. Reproduction is a key function often affected by this process in numerous species, regardless of the mechanism.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the development of the Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis), aiming to create a flexible model to describe fish embryogenesis by integrating variabilities between species.
  • Researchers utilized microscopic techniques, including time-lapse video and histology, to observe the developmental stages of the perch from fertilization to first feeding, which occurs over 15 days at 13°C.
  • The proposed staging system distinguishes two main stages during cell division, two during gastrulation, and five during organogenesis, highlighting variations in organ development, particularly in the visual and digestive systems.
