Exploring Photoreceptor Gene Expression and Seasonal Physiology in Mediterranean Swordfish (<i>Xiphias gladius</i>)

Mature and immature female swordfish show different gonadal expression patterns of melatonin synthesis-related and opsin genes, indicating that seasonality affects gonadal circadian genes, especially through opsin modulation. The high energy demands of reproduction may cause mature female swordfish...
