Presence of bisexual individuals and a sex-specific bimodal size distribution are suggestive of protogyny in the dash-and-dot goatfish Parupeneus barberinus, but the most parsimonious interpretation of histological analysis is juvenile hermaphroditism. This is the first report of hermaphroditism in the Mullidae.
双性个体的存在以及特定性别的双峰大小分布表明虚线羊鱼（Parupeneus barberinus）存在雌性先熟现象，但组织学分析最简约的解释是幼体雌雄同体。这是羊鱼科中关于雌雄同体现象的首次报道。
