Updated project metadata. Adult male marine fish were exposed to 100ng/L of ethinyl estradiol (EE2) for 7 days in 1.8L vessels, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as carrier never reaching concentrations > 0.001% v/v. The same volume of DMSO was added to the solvent control vessels. Culture conditions, monitored daily, were as follows: temperature 18.8 ± 0.2°C, pH 7.94±0.03, dissolved oxygen saturation 99.3% ± 1.1 and 16:8 hours of light:dark photoperiod. 90% of the water was renewed daily and EE2 and DMSO concentrations were adjusted after that.
