TLDR
The results support hypothesized roles for androgens in male function and E2 in female function in A. melanopus, however, E2 increases lagged behind oogonial proliferation, arguing against an influence of this steroid in the initiation of female function.About:

Sex determination and sex differentiation in fish: an overview of genetic, physiological, and environmental influences
TL;DR: The lability of sex-determination systems in fish makes some species sensitive to environmental pollutants capable of mimicking or disrupting sex hormone actions, and such observations provide important insight into potential impacts from endocrine disruptors, and can provide useful monitoring tools for impacts on aquatic environments.

Androgens in teleost fishes
TL;DR: 11-Oxygenated androgens are generally more effective than T in stimulating secondary sexual characters, reproductive behaviour and spermatogenesis in teleost fishes but receptor-like binding has only reported for T and not for 11KT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocrine and environmental aspects of sex differentiation in fish
TL;DR: Although steroids and steroidogenic enzymes are probably not the initial triggers of sex differentiation, new data, including molecular approaches, have confirmed that they are key physiological steps in the regulation of this process.

The Role of Androgens in Female Vertebrates
Nancy L. Staub,M De Beer +1 more
TL;DR: The functional significance of androgens in females is examined by reviewing studies that document relatively high levels of circulating plasma androgens, androgen receptors, or androgen-metabolizing enzymes in females to hypothesize that androgens play a significant role in normal female development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and plasticity of sex determination and differentiation in fishes.
TL;DR: This review first discusses genetic-orientated sex determination mechanisms, then addresses the gonadal sex differentiation process in a gonochoristic fish, using an example of the Nile tilapia, and discusses various types of sex change in hermaphrodite fishes.
