Cover; Title page; Copyright page; Dedication page; Robert John Wootton (1942-2014); Preface; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations and acronyms; Chapter 1: Introduction; Introduction; Reproductive modes of the teleosts; Reproductive diversity in teleosts: an explanatory framework; Aims of the volume; Chapter 2: Sex determination; Introduction; Genotypic sex determination; Environmental sex determination; Evolution of sex-determining mechanisms; Chapter 3: Sex differentiation; Introduction; Embryology of the gonads; Genetic control of early gonadal differentiation; Synthesis

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of vertebrates. Teleosts display remarkable variation in their modes of reproduction, and this volume is intended to provide a framework for understanding the remarkable reproductive diversity of this group. It describes their reproductive biology using, wherever possible, phylogenetic analyses and life-history theory as a means to interpret the information. The book addresses the genetic, physiological, behavioural, ecolog.
