Our group has extensive experience and knowledge in the study of fish reproduction, with a core line of research dedicated to the molecular, cellular, and physiological bases of the reproductive process. For decades, we have developed multiple biotechnological, molecular, genetic, cellular, immunological, and zootechnical farming tools, with applications to the control and manipulation of marine fish reproduction under farmed conditions, primarily sea bass and sole. Both species are relevant to Spanish and European aquaculture and represent two distinct biological and economic models considered in this project.
We have focused on processes such as precocious puberty and the early stages of gametogenesis in sea bass, emphasizing the role of gonadotropins and sex steroids as key elements in their control, and the involvement of paracrine/autocrine gonadal factors. The group also conducts studies related to the role of environmental factors such as photoperiod and temperature in the onset of puberty and the control of the reproductive cycle, the search for the genetic basis of sexual maturity, and the evaluation of sustainable feeds for breeders that ensure good quality gametes and progeny.
