Quantitative trait loci for body growth and sex determination in the hermaphrodite teleost fish Sparus aurata L.

Abstract:

:Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) is an important marine fish in Mediterranean aquaculture. Sex determination by age and/or body weight is a critical life-history trait, the genetic basis for which is largely unknown in this sequential hermaphrodite species. Herein, we performed a partial genome scan to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting body weight and sex using 74 informative microsatellite markers from 10 paternal half-sib families to construct nine linkage groups (LG). In total, four growth-related QTL (two chromosome-wide and two genome-wide) and six QTL related to sex determination (three pairs in three different LGs) were detected (two chromosome-wide and one genome-wide). The proportion of phenotypic variation explained by the body-weight QTL ranged from 9.3% to 17.2%, showing their potential for use in marker-assisted selection. The results obtained offer solid ground to investigate the structure and function of the genomic regions involved in the mechanisms of sex reversal.
