The fully matured ovary at stage V were dissected from wild captured rock bream and immediately stored in RNAlater (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and then stored at -80oC prior to RNA extraction. The gonad maturation of the rock bream was check by histological section. For the female individual, postovulatory follicles were observed together with oocytes at yolk stage in histological sections of ovaries, indicating the female at maturity stages V.
