The basic morphological and biochemical aspects of fertilization are highly conserved and make use of principles common to most metazoan animals. However, fertilization of the fish oocyte occurs in a wide variety of environmental circumstances and the details for bringing sperm and egg together, as well as for transforming the fertilized oocyte into a developing embryo can differ greatly. Adaptations for activating a yolk-rich oocyte typically found in fish species and establishing polarity of the embryo involve some processes that appear to be unique to fish oocytes. Such unique aspects of fish fertilization provide opportunities to understand mechanisms that are more difficult to detect in oocytes from other types of animals. The following sections will review the current knowledge relating to strategies of fertilization, mechanisms of gamete interaction, and egg activation in fish species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
