Identification and partial characterization of a sex specific protein in Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus)

Gender identification of fish species is carried out mainly by examining external morphological characteristics, which in general, it is very complex and not always a reliable approach. Electrophoresis of plasma proteins can be used as an alternative and useful molecular tool for a more precise sex...
