Abstract
Partial cDNAs encoding homologues of choriolysin were cloned from striped bass embryos and from atretic ovaries of white perch. Among these clones, one of the ovarian homologues may be a candidate bio-marker for detecting onset of atresia. Early detection of atresia may allow affected broodfish to be reproduced before they undergo complete reproductive failure.
