Gamete physiology, fertilization and egg activation in teleost fish
The fertilization and activation of fish oocytes are vital, but unfortunately overlooked, processes in fisheries research. This paper sets out to review our present understanding of these important events in teleost fish and, drawing comparisons with mammalian research, to highlight areas in which r...
