Fig. 4 Expression of gonad markers in testes and ovaries at different stages. Expression of sox9a, aro and ff1b in (A) 21-dpf whole-mount (B) 21-dpf cross-sectioned and (C) 17-, 10-, and 12-dfp whole-mount gonads was detected by in situ RNA hybridization. Positive signals are shown in blue or brown color. All sectioned slides were counter-stained with Nuclear Fast Red. All female fish are progeny of super mothers. WT: wildtype fish. Bigger and smaller gonads in (A) and (C) refer to gonad sizes. Numbers at the corner indicate the number of larvae with a typical RNA expression pattern versus the total number of larvae. Scale bars represent 40 μm in (A and Ca–f), 20 μm in (B) and 25 μm in (Cg–i). aro: cyp19a1a, ff1b: nr5a1a, scc: cyp11a1.
