The first evidence of intersexuality in Atka mackerel Pleurogrammus monopterygius (Hexagrammidae)
Summary Histological examination of Atka mackerel ovotestes reveals the possibility of intersexuality. Individuals with bisexual gonads have been caught in the North Pacific near the south-east coast of the Kamchatka peninsula. While intersex appeared to be normal females with developing ovaries, hi...
