- Abstract
The article focuses on a study of male germ cell proliferation and apoptosis of captive-reared Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT) thunnus thynnus during its reproductive cycle. Topics discussed include increase of germ cell apoptosis when spermatogenesis occurred from April to May, temporal overlapping between spermatogenesis in wild and captive ABFT, and gonadotropins and steroid hormones in mammals as a survival factor that prevents germ cell apoptosis.
