PROCESS FOR RECOGNISING FEMALES IN THE COURSE OF VITELLOGENESIS IN OVIPAROUS ANIMALS, BY AN IMMUNOAGGLUTINATION TEST

摘要

The invention relates to a process for recognising females in the course of vitellogensis in oviparous animals , consisting in detecting th vittelogenin specifically present in the blood of females, by an immunoagglutination test made on a sample of blood serum of the animals. This process allows a simple, rapid determination of the sex of oviparous animals, particularly fish, well before the appearance of the morphological features usually used for recognising the sexes.
