“…Amongst these species, only the greater amberjack ( S. dumerili ) is widely distributed in the Mediterranean Sea, being native to the coasts of Spain, France, Italy and Greece (Froese & Pauly ) and, therefore, the preferred species of this genus for aquaculture diversification in these countries. Accordingly, a significant number of studies have been published in relation with the species reproductive biology (Grau ; Marino, Mandich, Massari, Andaloro & Porrello ; Micale, Maricchiolo & Genovese ; García Hernández, García, Zandbergen & Agulleiro ), broodstock management (De la Gándara, Alonso & García‐Gómez ; Roo, Schuchardt, Socorro, Guirao, Hernández‐Cruz & Fernández‐Palacios ), occurrence of spontaneous spawns (Jerez, Samper, Santamaria, Villamandos, Cejas & Felipe ; Jerez, Cejas, Villamandos, Samper, Felipe & Santamaría ), gonad composition (Rodríguez‐Barreto, Jerez, Cejas, Martin, Acosta, Bolaños & Lorenzo ) or microsatellite characterization (Porta, Novel, Martinez‐Rodriguez, Alvarez & Porta ). In addition, several hormonal treatments have been tested in greater amberjack, including human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) (García, Díaz & Agulleiro ; Kozul, Skaramuca, Glamuzina, Glavic & Tutman ), luteinizing hormone‐releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) injections (Lazzari, Fusari, Boglione, Marino & Di Francesco ; García‐Gómez & De la Gándara ) and GnRHa implants (Mylonas, Papandroulakis, Smboukis, Papadaki & Divanach ),…”
