Maybe he meant the dreaded seabass....there are many fish that have both characteristics..but I doubt very much that there is a chemical that changes the actual dna of a living fish..

Supposedly (and as mentioned above) the chemicals and hormones from birth control in the water is leading to this - I've heard & read this before - not sure on how true it is.

I'm surprised that with all the drugs that get "disposed of" by flushing, that these fish can do anything.
Let's see, they can't get depressed, won't have trouble sleeping, they won't have any intestinal issues, no heartburn, high blood pressure, cholesterol, bloating, water retention, mood swings or ANY irrectile dysfunction at all!

Heck, I doubt that they can feel anything at all!

Pretty soon you can skip going to the pharamcist and just go fishing instead.
