Abstract Specification of primordial germ cells during early embryogenesis is a critical biological issue in reproduction and development. Yet, little is known in marine economic fish species. Vasa , a component of germ plasm, is the most‐documented germ cell marker in teleosts. We isolated a full‐l...
