HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Generation of gonadless farmed cod by specific ablation of primordial germ cells

One of the greatest problems in cod aquaculture today is the premature onset of sexual maturation. This can be circumvented by sterilizing the fish using a variety of alternative methods, which differ in efficiency and undesired side-effects. In this prop osal we outline a molecular approach for ...
