Metamorphosis in the summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) is controlled by thyroid hormones (TH) and takes place as the larvae move from a salinity of about 35 parts per thousand (ppt) in the ocean to salinity ranging from 0-35 ppt in estuaries. Historically, the role of TH in juvenile and adult
Summer flounder, like most marine fishes studied to date, are stomachless at first feeding, and subsequently acquire gastric function during the process of metamorphosis. Stomach formation is controlled largely by thyroxine (T 4 ). In the present work we sought to understand gastric organogenesis in
