The concept of a hormonal male contraceptive is very similar to female hormonal contraceptives, with the administered sex steroid(s) causing suppression of GnRH [gonadotropin-releasing hormone] and LH [luteinizing hormone]/FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] secretion from the hypothalamus and pituitary respectively, and thus gonadal quiescence... 3, record 1, English, - hormonal%20male%20contraceptive

Unilateral eyestalk ablation has been widely implemented in aquaculture to accelerate the gonadal maturation and consequently increase the seed production of shrimp broodstock... This technique removes one eyestalk, which hosts the sinus-organ X that produces hormones such as the gonad inhibiting hormone. These hormones are responsible for accelerating maturation and leads to predictable peaks of maturation and spawning that facilitates the setting up of production schedules... This practice, however, has been associated with high broodstock mortalities and poor-quality offspring... 2, record 2, English, - unilateral%20eyestalk%20ablation
