OverviewGonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) has been suggested to be useful for manipulation of sex and maturation in scallop. We aim to identify the GnRH receptor (GnRHR) cDNA from the scallop and plan to perform transcriptome survey and PCR cloning. In order to understand the mechanism of larval settlement in Pacific oysters, we plan to quantitatively analyze the differentiation and development of neurons in larval developmental process from fertilized egg through settled spat of oyster.
