In a groundbreaking study in Nature's Scientific Reports, the BGU group highlights the development of a 'super shrimp' which, for the first time, only produces female offspring. The emergence of an all-female population could both increase aquaculture yields as well as serve as a natural agent to prevent the spread of harmful, water-bound parasites.
