Transcriptomic Analysis Provides New Insights into Oocyte Growth and Maturation in Greater Amberjack (Seriola dumerili).

ABSTRACT: The greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is an emerging marine fish that is increasingly favored in aquaculture. Currently, there are few studies on the development and regulation of greater amberjack ovaries. In this study, the ovary transcriptome profiles of greater amberjack at three different stages (stage II, III, and IV) were performed, and identified the genes and pathways that may play significant roles in the processes of follicle growth and maturation. A total of 6597, and 1061 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in FII vs. FIII, FIII vs. FIV, and FII vs. FIV stages, respectively. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that these DEG_S are primarily involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis (e.g., cyp11a1, cyp17a1, cyp19a1a,
