The sex ratio is a fundamental parameter in biology that significantly determines the reproductive potential of all sorts of populations. The sex ratio is established by the processes of sex determination (genetic or environmental determination of the gender of an individual) and sex differentiation (the development of a gonadal primordium and its transformation into an ovary or a testis). The study of the processes leading to the sex ratio has both basic interest (evolution of sex determining mechanisms, speciation, mating behaviour) as well as applied interest (control of sex ratios for aquaculture, restocking, control of invasive species, etc.). The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the still poorly understood processes of sex determination and differentiation in fish, both under normal conditions and as a consequence of thermal variations, by looking at the underlying molecular mechanisms; in particular, to determine how the environment that the animals experience in early life determines subsequent gene function.
