Not AvailableMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that control the expression ofgenes by targeting specific mRNAs. Data related to miRNAs are limited for fishspecies, with only 16 out of the 30 000 fish species enlisted in miRBase. In the pre-sent review, we have summarized the recent findings on the implication of miR-NAs in the teleost reproduction with an emphasis on commercially importantcandidates. The information related to various miRNAs and their roles duringdifferent developmental stages of gonads in nine important species has been com-piled. We have focused on the trend of sexual dimorphism in the gonadal miRNArepertoire of teleost species. Species-specific variability is observed in the expres-sion pattern of gonadal miRNAs in both male and female fish. It is noteworthythat our summarization of teleost miRNAs in reproduction has highlighted thegaps in functional information on the identified miRNAs (both conserved andnovel). It is only after functional validation of the miRNA targets, one can usethese findings to enhance reproductive health and production of the commercialteleost species to boost overall aquaculture sector.Not Availabl
