Suggrundus meerdervoortii(Platycephalidae) has been hypothesized to pass through four phases, thus changing sex three times: the first male, first female, second male and second female phases. In this study, gonads of males and females were constructed from developed testis with an immature ovary and only oocytes, respectively. The females in this study were significantly larger than the males. There was no female in the size range of the hypothesized first female phase. Reversed sex change among protandrous fishes has not been reported in any other studies. Thus, the specimens of the hypothesized first female phase may be different fromS. meerdervoortii. Therefore, this species should be considered protandrous without reversed sex change.
