Trojan trout: could turning an invasive fish into a ‘super-male’ save a native species?J. Miller, The Guardian, 2022.
Brook trout may greatly outnumber the Rio Grande cutthroat here, but nearly every brookie the team captures is male. That’s because many are a lab-produced variety known as “Trojan” brook trout. They are unique in that they carry not one, but two copies of the Y chromosome ... |

Population Consequences of Releasing Sex-Reversed Fish: Applications and ConcernsC. Wederkind, Sex Control in Aquaculture, Chp 8:179-188. 2018.
Sex differentiation is generally more labile in gonochoristic fish than it is, for example, in birds and mammals. Environmentally induced sex reversal is, therefore, often possible, and creates genotype‐phenotype mismatches that can be useful in population management. ... |
