Description The fourfinger threadfin Eleutheronema tetradactylum is reported as a protandrous hermaphrodite from
Australian waters, while being a gonochorist in reports from Singapore and India, with a single report
of protandrous hermaphroditism from the latter. Histological analysis of gonads of fish from Indian
waters confirms protandrous hermaphroditism in E. tetradactylum. The study was based on 480 fish
examined from eight locations along the Indian coast. Mean total length (LT) of male fish was 240mm
with the transition to female starting from 280mm LT. Specimens confirmed as mature females were
>380mm LT.
