Relationships between sex and the size and number of forebrain gonadotropin-releasing hormone-immunoreactive neurones in the ballan wrasse (Labrus berggylta), a protogynous hermaphrodite

• This study is the first to examine the brain gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) cell population phenotype in a protogynous and monandric sequentially hermaphroditic fish. Male ballan wrasse (Labrus berggylta) had on average higher numbers of GnRH-immun
