(2) Although these findings strongly support the hypothesis that 17,20 beta-P is a preovulatory female sex pheromone in goldfish which stimulates male GtH levels and milt production prior to spawning, the milt increases occurred earlier than predicted, suggesting either that preovulatory 17,20 beta-P release begins earlier than the data indicate or that other steroids known to have pheromonal activity are released before 17,20 beta-P.
