✦ Synopsis

The hormonal control of ontogeny in fish and amphibians is reviewed. Neuroendocrine regulation and actions of metabolic and osmoregulatory hormones (thyroid, interrenal, pituitary, pancreas, and gut) during amphibian and fish metamorphosis and the parr-smolt transformation of juvenile salmon are considered. The developmental significance of hormones in egg yolk is discussed. It is concluded that the transitions between life-history stages provide many unique opportunities for studying basic endocrine phenomena.
