CONT

Hormone induction of sex inversion seems to be an efficient tool for producing dusky grouper males. However, oral administration of [hormones] to single fish proved to be very laborious and unsuitable at [a] commercial level. Sex inverted fish change back to females, and therefore repeated treatment was required to maintain male sex.
