“…The E. tetradactylum (Polynemidae: Perciformes) is in fact a protandrous, hermaphrodite marine fish (Patnaik, 1967;Kowtal, 1972;Stanger, 1974;Motomura, 2004;Sadovy & Liu, 2008). They act as functional male in their early part of life and then act as functional female for the later periods of life (Patnaik, 1967;Kowtal, 1972;Stanger, 1974;McPherson, 1997;Ballagh et al, 2012). The body size (fork length) of E. tetradactylum act as an important diagnostic marker for the male and female discrimination among the individuals (Kailola et al, 1993;McPherson, 1997;Ballagh et al, 2012).…”
