Possible roles of sex steroids in the control of reproduction in bivalve molluscs (2007, background): “While most effects noted by Wang and Croll (2004) were nonspecific with respect to individual steroids, these authors did note that estradiol and DHEA stimulated the growth of extraordinarily large oocytes, while injections of testosterone resulted in breakdown of oocytes in the gonads of female j”
Partitioning, bioavailability and effects of oestrogens and xeno-oestrogens in the aquatic environment (2005, unknown): “…of E2 (and other sex steroids, testosterone, and progesterone) have been shown to stimulate both oogenesis and spermatogenesis in adult scallops Mizuhopecten yessoensis , and lead to increased gonad weight and oocyte diameter (Varaksina & Varaksin, 1992; Varaksina et al., 1992; Wang & Croll, 2004).”
Feminisation of male clams Scrobicularia plana from estuaries in Southwest UK and its induction by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (2007, background): “In contrast, injections of E2 (and other sex steroids, testosterone, and progesterone) stimulate both oogenesis and spermatogenesis in scallops and lead to increased gonad weight and, as in our study, larger oocyte diameter (Varaksina & Varaksin 1991, Varaksina et al. 1992, Wang & Croll 2004).”
