Sommario/riassunto

Research on the molecular aspects of fish reproduction has progressedswiftly over the past few years. With the availability of wide-rangingmolecular tools, fish researchers have elucidated many of themolecular mechanisms regulating reproduction which operate in



thebrain, pituitary and gonad.
