Abstract

The gonadal sex differentiation in red sea bream,Pagrus major, which is one of the most important species for aquaculture in Japan, was revealed histologically. The suitable conditions for induction of all-male groups in the fish were investigated, and functional males were induced by the conditions of oral administration of 17a-methyltestosterone. The sex determination of this fish was also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
