## Summary Cytochrome P450‐aromatase enzyme (CYP19), which catalyses the conversion of androgens to oestrogens, is critical in ovarian differentiation and hence in the sex differentiation pathways of non‐mammalian vertebrates. As in other fish species, distinct ovarian and brain aromatase genes hav
