Suppression of P450 aromatase gene expression in sex-reversed males produced by rearing genetically female larvae at a high water temperature during a period of sex differentiation in the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)

Aromatase inhibitor and 17α-methyltestos

The sex of Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is easily altered by water temperature or sex steroid hormone treatment during the period of sex determination. We have previously shown that rearing the genetically female larvae at high water temperature caused the suppression of P450 aromatase
