Some problematic estrogen mimics.....

....scientists found 11 out of 82 male hornyhead turbot collected off the Southern California coast had small eggs growing in their testes.

Now that is scary!

ECO-PING

FReepmail me to be added or removed to the ECO-PING list!

I wonder what the estrogen levels are in the San Francisco drinking water? That might explain a lot...

[Mercat]

the other thing that is scary is all of the soy products that we eat all the time.

homosexual agenda?

Hornyhead Turbot ping!

[EggsAckley]

"the hornyhead turbot, which feeds on animals in the sediment, could be ingesting estrogen."

Heh.

[LongElegantLegs]

Can you ping your list for the Hornyhead Turbot?

[varyouga]

Uhh-Oh. Better check SF water

Not necessarily. Do these scientists have a historic baseline for the normal condition of hornyhead turbot indicating that this condition is unusual for that species?

Consider this:

Of the vertebrates in the animal kingdom, sex determination is usually a fixed characteristic in terms of life history. Interestingly, there are a few organisms for whom sex is a plastic condition, often determined by a combination of internal and external signals. One such group of organisms which follows this trend are the tropical teleosts: the conspicuous coloful fish inhabiting coral reefs.

It would seem sexual plasticity, or at least its potential, may not be uncommon in fish. This could well be more eco-fear-mongering.

It's very difficult to remove them, and it would come at an enormous public cost," he said. "But it may be something that people someday might want to look at."

Further contributing to feminization, the chemical fertilizer DDT acts like estrogen, he said.

I always thought that DDT was a pesticide, not a fertilizer.

Back in the early 90's, I went out on a research boat to study the fish living around the outfalls from the Los Angeles Sewage Treatment facility near LA Harbor. The fish they brought up were full of lesions. It was pretty gross. I remember some of the fish were this type of fish. I did this while completing my degree at Long Beach State. I wonder if this was part of the study.

I was just in the class to satisfy my science requirements.

male hornyhead find feminine side, one would think the radical feminists would be estatic.
