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. 2, record 2, English, - sex%2Dinverted%20fish

The condition produced by greatly reduced function of the parathyroids possibly due to autoimmune disease or genetic factors, or by the removal of those bodies. The lack of parathyroid hormone leads to a fall in plasma calcium level-which may result in increased neuro-muscular excitability and, ultimately, tetany-followed by a rise in plasma phosphate level, resulting in a decrease in bone resorption and consequent increased density of bone. 2, record 4, English, - hypoparathyroidism
