1. The effects of estradiol-17β and testosterone on the tissue respiration were studied, using the Japanese common oysters, Crassostrea gigas, during the sexual maturation.
2. Estradiol-3-benzoate caused an increase in ovary respiration. Moreover, it caused a marked increase in spermary respiration.
3. Testosterone propionate, however, did not activate the respiration of gonads and caused a slight decrease in it with spermary.
