Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Do bass change sex?

theo, We would get 100% females at high enough levels of estorgen. We were playing with lower dosage rates of 17-beta estradiol and then it would not be 100%, pretty easy to do really. Problem is to sell these sex reversed fish it would require FDA approval in case said fish were eaten. In other words $$ is not there to do the studies to prove it is safe. Some folks are trying to do chi square stuff by crossing sex reveresed male with ? (can't remember my genetics)and that will get all females that are not treated with hormones. That is the way to go but hatcheries have been talking about it for years now and not avail yet. If so they will come with hefty price tag as you can image.
