OBS

[Il existe] deux types d'hermaphrodisme successifs : [l'hermaphrodisme] protogynique et [l'hermaphrodisme] protandrique. Dans le premier état, l'individu hermaphrodite dans sa phase juvénile est fonctionnellement femelle en développant un ovaire; puis cette structure sexuelle régresse progressivement dans le temps, pendant que la gonade devient un testicule donnant lieu à un individu fonctionnellement mâle. L'ordre de ce processus est inversé dans le cas d'hermaphrodisme protandrique où l'organisme est d'abord mâle pour devenir femelle.
