High Polymorphism in the Dmrt2a Gene Is Incompletely Sex-Linked in Spotted Scat, Scatophagus argus [PDF]
Unlike mammals and birds, many fishes have young sex chromosomes, providing excellent models to study sex chromosome differentiation at early stages. Previous studies showed that spotted scat possesses an XX-XY sex determination system.

Analysis of circRNA and miRNA expression profiles in IGF3-induced ovarian maturation in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor 3 (IGF3) induces ovarian maturation in teleosts; however, research on its molecular regulatory mechanism remains deficient. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in various biological processes, including
