Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present the information about the brain–pituitary–gonad reproductive axis and their control on endocrinology of fishes through production of gonadotropins like FSH and LH. It also discusses different stages involved in the process of oogenesis and spermatogenesis and the endocrinological mechanism.
