Idea Paper: Effects of gonad type and body mass on the time required for sex change in fishes
[article]

pre-print
Sex change is a well-known phenomenon in teleost fishes, and it takes several days to a few months depending on the species and direction of sex change. However, the underlying factors influencing the time required for sex change (TS) remain unclear. Given that the time for producing a new gonad largely determines TS, the gonad type (i.e., whether fish retain the gonad of opposite sex or not [delimited or non-delimited]) and metabolic rate are the ultimate determinants of TS.
