Abstract

Vertebrate reproduction is regulated by the gonadotropic hormones, folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), both synthesized and secreted by the pituitary gland. Their coordinated action enables fine-tuning of ovarian and testicular function. FSH in certain fish (e.g. salmonids) has a dominant role in the initiation of gametogenesis and regulation of gonadal growth, whereas LH is dominant mainly during gonadal maturation and spermiation/ ovulation.
