The Secret Behind the Natural Sex Reversal in Rice
Field Eel (Monopterus albus) Remains Unknown by Ayah Rebhi Hilles in Advancesin Complementary & Alternative Medicine- Crimson Publishers_ Journal of

Monopterus albus, the rice field eel (Zuiew), it
is under Synbranchidae family; Synbranchiformes order. It lives in the rice
fields, swamps, and muddy ponds in different Asian countries. M.albus is a
hermaphrodite and undergoes sex reversal naturally Female are intersexes, they
have both female and male sex organs with oocytes and spermatocytes in their
gonads, and then they become males [1]. The sex reversal of M.albus normally
happens after spawning when the eel grows to 35 to 45cm in length [2]. There
are many researchers studied the principle of natural sex reversal in M.albus,
one of these studies says that this process based on genetic switch-mechanism
which the differentiation and maturation of female germ-cells would cease then
the epigenesis of male germ-cells and the interstitial Leydig"s cells
started, this sexuality shifting from female to male involve the stimulation of
some regulators and the mediation of biochemical components and physiological
events and environmental factors might also play a role in this series of
events [3]. In another study, it has been reported that M.albus undergoes
reversal of sex from the female to male genetically which involve the expression
of regulatory genes.
