Assessment of key reproductive markers after hormonal induction of spawning, using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone in female yellow belly flounder (Rhombosolea leporine):.
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Yellow belly flounder (YBF) (Rhombosolea leporina) are of interest to the New Zealand aquaculture industry as a novel culture species. This is due to their high commercial value and low trophic feeding level. However, when ... -
Gonad examination reveals diandry and baseline DNA methylation in the three sexual phenotypes of the New Zealand spotty wrasse, Notolabrus celidotus
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Understanding reproductive plasticity and how sexual phenotypes arise is of great interest to biology, particularly the form and function of sex changing fish. However, there are gaps regarding detailed descriptions of ... -
Induced reproduction in Pātiki (Rhombosolea leporina), a novel endemic aquaculture candidate
(The University of Waikato, 2022)The rapid global population growth combined with the decline of wild-capture fisheries has resulted in the global expansion of aquaculture. New Zealand’s aquaculture industry remains largely underdeveloped and as such, ... -
Marine demosponge responses to a changing ocean; effects of sedimentation and temperature increases on Tethya burtoni metabolism
(University of Waikato, 2017)As atmospheric CO₂ levels currently increase at an unprecedented rate, the effects of climate change are increasingly recognized as a significant threat. Changes to climate are predicted to influence natural systems, ... -
Molecular Characterisation of Sex Differentiation Genes in Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi)
(University of Waikato, 2015)Species diversification is crucial for the successful establishment and growth of a finfish aquaculture industry in New Zealand. The yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi is a promising candidate species with a fast growth ... -
Reproductive biology of yellowbelly flounder Rhombosolea leporina (Günther, 1862) and Rhombosolea spp.
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Yellowbelly flounder Rhombosolea leporina is a culturally, recreationally, and commercially important flounder species in New Zealand. R. leporina contain high-quality flesh and sexually dimorphic growth, where females ... -
The quantification of external colour changes during sexual transition in the protogynous spotty wrasse Notolabrus celidotus
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Hermaphroditism in fish has been well documented. Protogynous hermaphrodites (female to male sex change) are normally found in a polygamous social hierarchy. The male is the dominant within the group, followed by the largest ...
