Analysis of sexually dimorphic growth in captive reared cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and the occurrence of intersex individuals

This study demonstrated that female cobia grow significantly faster than male fish and that investigations into monosex culture could lead to significant productivity gains for cobia aquaculture. It also demonstrated that cohorts containing intersex fish did not exhibit sexually dimorphic growth. It is likely that the reproductive anomaly is the result of disruption to the endocrine system.
