This study sought to determine the lower size limit at which histological examination can reliably determine sex in northern pike. Samples of juvenile pike ranging from 45-90mm were collected and sections of their peritoneal cavity were examined microscopically. The study found that sex could be differentiated as early as 48mm (30-70 days old), as female gonads have two attachment sites while male gonads have one. Future work will aim to determine the size at sexual differentiation and investigate environmental factors influencing sex ratios in the species.
