Wild zebrafish strains determine sex using a ZW genetic system wherein the maternally inherited sex chromosome determines the embryo\u2019s sex. Like other species, including humans, regulation of conserved autosomal genes is crucial for gonocyte and sexual differentiation. How these conserved factors are regulated by the diverse mechanisms found throughout the animal kingdom is an active area of investigation. Domesticated zebrafish strains lack the ZW sex determination system found in wild strains and undergo gonocyte and sexual differentiation through a process exclusively governed by autosomal genes and nongenetic influences like environmental factors. Through mutational analysis, molecular genetics, and RNA sequencing, our understanding of the complexity of oocyte and spermatocyte differentiation has become clearer. In this review, we explore the most recent studies of the conserved and divergent mechanisms of gonocyte differentiation between wild and domesticated zebrafish as well as possible adaptations related to their domestication. Further, the contributions of individual genes and their molecular genetic hierarchy in regulating gonocyte differentiation are discussed and related to other species where relevant. We also address the recent characterization of a novel oocyte-progenitor and its potential implications in gonad differentiation. Finally, the role of gonocyte-extrinsic mechanisms, specifically communication between differentiating gonocytes and surrounding somatic gonad cells and the influence of resident and infiltrating immune cells, is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bst20253046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]],"date-time":"2025-08-26T21:21:01Z","timestamp":1756243261000},"page":"1091-1103","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Regulation of early gonocyte differentiation in zebrafish"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7933-4799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miranda L.","family":"Wilson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell, Developmental, and Regenerative Biology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, 10029, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9362-0342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florence L.","family":"Marlow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell, Developmental, and Regenerative Biology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, 10029, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121604430974400_BST-2025-3046C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2024.1362228","article-title":"Direct male development in chromosomally ZZ zebrafish","volume":"12","author":"Wilson","year":"2024","journal-title":"Front.
