Development of YY Red Shiner for Invasive Population Control

Learn about groundbreaking research on controlling invasive Red Shiner populations through genetic intervention in this 50-minute presentation from the University of Arizona. Explore comprehensive findings on aquaculture protocols, hormonal sex reversal treatments, and sex determination systems developed to produce YY Red Shiner broodstock. Discover how these techniques could potentially lead to the extirpation of invasive populations that threaten fish species of high conservation concern. Gain valuable insights from Chad Teal's research that establishes fundamental biological information about Red Shiner and evaluates the feasibility of using YY specimens for population management.
