What is the "sexual transformation" of female swordtail fish?

Published: 2024-11-22 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/22, The so-called "sexual transformation" of female fish refers to the gradual masculinization of some female fish that have given birth to larvae: the body becomes slender, sword-shaped protuberances grow under the caudal fin, and the anal fin turns into a rod-shaped mating device, and begins to chase the female, mate and fertilize with it, and reproduce. However, only the female changed from male to male, and no male to female was found. Recently, different opinions have been expressed on this issue: swordtail fish cannot be reversed sexually, and their natural sex ratio has always been between 1:2 and 1. 5. Although the larvae of swordtail fish grow to 3 months, the reproductive organs of both sexes open.

Recently, different opinions have been expressed on this issue: swordtail fish cannot be reversed sexually, and their natural sex ratio has always been between 1:2 and 1. 5. Although the male and female reproductive organs begin to develop when the larvae of swordtail fish grow to 3 months, the sexual organs can not mature and stabilize until the age of 7-8 months. For this problem, we can continue to explore and study it in the future practice.
