Any of you biohackers know if it is possible (within reason) to determine if a fish is a "super-male" with a YY chromosome?  Apparently, a super-male will produce all male offspring. 

I am raising Tilapia and would be more productive if I can raise an all male population.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Hi Bryan,

It should be possible to design a PCR probe to ask that question. I'm on the road at the moment, but if someone else on the list doesn't respond I'll look into it next week. Please remind me if I drop the ball!

Here is a site that talks about the Tilapia genome. 

The genomes on the site seem to be drafts but it should be possible to find some sequence on it for the x and y.
I'm reading up on this issue.

Let you know if I find something

Cheers,
