The process of gonadal sex differentiation of red sea bream, Pagrus major, of a selected strain was histologically studied using fish reared in the laboratory. Central cavities were observed in gonads in all of the fish aged 3 and 4 months. The gonads in 34 of 40 fish aged 7 months had oocytes at the pen-nucleolus stage. From 8 months to 12 months after hatching, about half of the fish had bisexual gonads. Gonads of fish from 1 year to 1 year and 4 months old were ovaries or bisexual gonads, while those of the 1-year-old fish after September and 2-year-old fish were ovaries, bisexual gonads or testes. Bisexual gonads were not seen in 3-year-old fish. Therefore, the pattern of gonadal sex differentiation in this selected strain may be summarized as follows. Differentiation to ovaries progresses in all fish until 7 months after hatching. Then half of fish continues to develop their ovaries, while the rest half starts to develop testis instead until 1 to 2 years old.
