Effects of temperature and sex steroids on sex ratio, growth, and growth-related gene expression in the Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus
2019
Aquatic Biology
Andrias davidianus is one of most farmed amphibians owing to its palatability and nutritional value. In this transitional group between aquatic and terrestrial animals the effects of temperature and sex hormones on sex ratio and growth are not fully understood. Here, we quantified the sex dimorphism of A. davidianus growth with adult males approximately 30% larger than females, and for the first time determined the time of initiation of sex differentiation to be ~98 days post-hatching (dph).
