This invention relates to methods and compounds for the production of sterile fish and other egg-producing aquatic animals. The methods include/the compounds are useful to cause disruption of gonadal development in fish or other egg-producing aquatic animals through the administration of compounds that lead to the failure of fertile gonadal development, and thus to reproductively sterile fish or other egg-producing aquatic animals. The methods and compounds are for use in e.g. aquaculture, the aquarium trade or control of invasive species.
