To improve knowledge of the reproductive biology of the Mediterranean bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), plasma concentrations of the steroid hormones Testosterone (T), 11-Ketotestosterone (11-KT) and 17ß-Estradiol (E2) and the yolk precursor Vitellogenin (Vtg) have been determined and correlated with gonadal maturity stage. In female bluefin we found rising levels of E2, T and Vtg approaching the spawning period. In male bluefin, T and 11-KT increase together with gonadal maturation. Characteristic sex hormone profiles for different sex and reproductive maturity stage have been observed. 11-KT has been detected in low levels in females and does not seems to play any role in ovary maturation; on the other hand E2 and Vtg have no role in male s...
