Experimental set-up to induce sex change in M. robustus through competition for access to mates. Mesh dividers create 3 compartments: (1) Reproductive compartment = mature male and female stimulus; (2) group of 5 females; (3) isolated female. The reproductive compartment included a glass container filled with peat as a substrate for spawning. Five remaining possible configurations of the three compartments are shown below.
