Abstract
    Mature male goldfish were exposed to the natural hormone 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2)). The fish were exposed for 24-28 days during the spawning period. The males were then paired with an artificially induced spawning female and observed for different sexual behaviours during 15 min. Also, the physiological status of the fish were examined regarding GSI, presence of milt and spawning tubercles. The results show that the measured behavioural variables were significantly and severely effected by the exposure. The physiology was also significantly affected. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that a potential endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), E sub(2), almost totally inhibit the male sexual activity.
