Reduced fertility in gper−/− female zebrafish. Hematoxylin & Eosin staining of a representative section from wildtype (wt) (A) and gper−/−(B) ovaries (n = 3 for each genotype). Both representative pictures depict Stage I–Stage IV oocytes. (C) Total number of embryos per female produced by gper−/− female zebrafish individually paired with fertility confirmed wt males over a -two-week period following two-week acclimation was significantly less than those from wt pairs. (D) Averaged spawn frequency (%) in two weeks. (E) The number of embryos per female produced daily in gper/ was less than those from wt. (F) No significant difference in the rate of inviable embryos obtained in gper/ compared to those in wt. n = 10 pairs for wt, n = 11 pairs for gper/. ***p < 0.001. Scale bar: 200µm.
