Aquaculture is one of the fastest rising sectors of world food production. Hundreds of fish species are cultured, providing an affordable, high quality food source. Two aspects of sexual development are critically important for the continued improvement of cultured fish stocks: sexual dimorphism and control of reproduction. In this paper, we review the main methods used to control sex determination in fish and their application in some of the most widely cultured species. Specifically, we review the techniques available for the production of all-male, all-female, and sterile populations. Techniques for endocrinological control of reproduction are also discussed.
水产养殖是世界粮食生产中发展最快的领域之一。数百种鱼类被养殖，提供了一种价格合理、质量上乘的食物来源。性发育的两个方面对于养殖鱼类种群的持续改良至关重要：两性异形和繁殖控制。在本文中，我们综述了用于控制鱼类性别决定的主要方法及其在一些养殖最广泛的鱼类品种中的应用。具体而言，我们综述了用于生产全雄、全雌和不育种群的可用技术。还讨论了繁殖的内分泌控制技术。
