a Individual gonadal aromatase (cyp19a1a) expression levels (2DCt) as assessed by qRT-PCR in the low (LT; N = 16) and high (HT; N = 16) temperature groups at 170 dph. Blue squares and red circles correspond to individual fish with low (putative future males) and high (putative future females) cyp19a1a levels, respectively. The horizontal line marks mean expression for each experimental group. The cyp19a1a expression of one of the putative females in the LT group (red circles) was much higher than the rest and it has been deliberately omitted from the graph for clarity purposes. Different letters indicate significant (ANOVA; P < 0.001) differences between the four groups, i.e., high and low cyp19a1a expressors of the LT and HT treatments. b Sex ratios of juvenile European sea bass sampled at 332 days post hatch. Stacked bars showing male (blue) and female (red) percent in the low (LT) and high (HT) temperature groups. Statistical differences (P < 0.001) between groups are marked with three asterisks. Sample size: LT, 66 fish; HT, 85 fish
