This paper presents a current view of the genomic and neuroendocrine interaction based on our studies of the reproductive system in the platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus). It also presents observations from basic research and applied biologists on natural and artificially reared fishes and indicates that there is a direct genetic involvement in the control of spawning, growth rates, size and age at maturation and final body size, similar to that described in platyfish. The past, present and future association of aquaculture and basic science, especially DNA technology, is discussed and potential directions for future research are presented.
本文根据我们对棋盘鱼(Xiphophorus maculatus)生殖系统的研究,呈现了当前对基因组和神经内分泌相互作用的观点。它还呈现了来自基础研究和应用生物学家对天然和人工养殖鱼类的观察结果,表明在控制产卵、生长速度、成熟时的大小和年龄以及最终身体大小方面存在直接的遗传参与,这与在棋盘鱼中描述的情况类似。本文讨论了水产养殖与基础科学(特别是 DNA 技术)的过去、现在和未来的联系,并提出了未来研究的潜在方向。
