The calculated ratios of expected females and expected males are based only on data from the 56% of the investigated fish that showed expected "male" or "female" expression pattern for all five genes (fig α, cyp19a1a, dmrt1a, sox9a and ar). The ratios of female gonad and male gonad are based on adult fish.
