This phenomenon has only been reported in one other gonochoristic fish species, the rosy bitterling <jats:italic>Rhodeus ocellatus<\/jats:italic>, despite the fact that triploidy is induced in numerous species. To investigate the mechanism responsible, we first produced triploid zebrafish and observed gonad development. Histological sections of juvenile triploid gonads showed that primary growth oocytes were able to develop in the juvenile ovary, but no cortical alveolus or more advanced oocytes were found. All adult triploids examined were male (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009160). Male triploids were able to induce oviposition by diploid females during natural spawning trials, but fertilization rates were low (1.0\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1%) compared with diploid male siblings (67.4\u2009\u00b1\u200916.6%). The embryos produced by triploid sires were aneuploid with a mean ploidy of 2.4\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>, demonstrating that triploid males produce aneuploid spermatozoa. After confirming that adult triploids are all male, we produced an additional batch of triploid zebrafish and exposed them (and a group of diploid siblings) to 100\u2009ng\/L estradiol (E2) from 5 to 28 dpf. The E2 treated triploids and nontreated triploids were all male. The nontreated diploids were also all male, but the E2 treated diploids were 89% female. This demonstrates that triploidy\u00a0acts downstream of estrogen synthesis in the sex differentiation pathway to induce male development. Based on this and the observations of juvenile gonad development in triploids, we suggest that triploidy inhibits development of oocytes past the primary growth stage, and this causes female to male sex reversal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mrd.22998","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,31]],"date-time":"2018-05-31T07:04:43Z","timestamp":1527750283000},"page":"612-621","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Why are triploid zebrafish all male?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"85","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5154-759X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas A.","family":"Delomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Natural Resources, The Ohio State University  Columbus Ohio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konrad","family":"Dabrowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environment and Natural Resources, The Ohio State University  Columbus Ohio"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0040701"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-374553-8.00255-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01875483"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1577\/1548-8659(1986)115<838:FCOAIS>2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jhered\/90.1.195"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_7_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1534\/g3.111.000190","article-title":"An SNP\u2010based linkage map for zebrafish reveals sex determination loci","volume":"1","author":"Bradley K.
