Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) are an important
aquaculture species and provide a well-established biological model.
Several natural history and physiological characteristics of tilapia
make them ideal candidates for endocrine disruptor studies. They are
euryhaline, fast growing, resilient and can tolerate a range of
temperatures and stresses. Additionally, they are found throughout
the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, where agricultural,
municipal, and industrial discharges and rainwater run off, exposing
them to endocrine disruptors (Okoumassoun et al., 2002; Park et al.,
2007). Moreover, many endocrine disruptors mimic estrogens, whose
biology is well characterized in the tilapia
