Abstract
Four different approaches have been used to study the sex determining mechanism in tilapia, and these are discussed: interspecific crosses, backcrosses and crosses between different hybrids of different generations; sex inversion of fry to females or males by hormonal treatment; chromosomal manipulations leading to polyploidy and gynogenesis; and karyotyping and differential straining of the tilapia genome. Some of these have yielded promising results, the evidence seeming to favour a distinct gonosome strategy albeit with autosomal and environmental influences. -after Authors
