The present work shows the results obtained in the experiments for masculinizing tilapia fry (O. niloticus) by the use of an aromatase inhibitor letrozole administered in the ration. Initially three doses with a treatment period of 30 days. With the lower doses of the inhibitor a period of two and three weeks was performed in order to evaluate the masculinization rate. The tilapia fry were exposed to three levels of letrozole 50 (T1), 100 (T2) and 200 (T3) mg.Kg-1 ration, a negative control (C0) and positive control (60 mg of 17 alpha methyl testosterone.Kg-1 ration (MT); growth, survival and masculinization percentage were evaluated. No significant differences were found for growth (weight and length increase) and survival between treatments neither with negative and the positive control. The treatments T1, T2, T3 showed a production of males of 90, 100 and 93 percentage. And 3 percent of females in T1 and 7 percent of intersex in T1 and T3. Regarding masculinization, the effect of the evaluated doses was significantly different in the positive and negative controls. Treatment with letrozol 50 mg.Kg-1 in ration gave 73 and 83 percentage males in two and three weeks, respectively, showing that the action of the inhibitor depends on dose and time. The conclusion is that 50 mg letrozol per kg of ration promotes masculinization of more than 90 percent of tilapia fry (O. niloticus) in four weeks of administration.
