This team is one of six major groups in the world studying signal transduction mechanisms in reproductive hormones in fish. The team studies how neuropeptides and biogenic amines regulate hormone secretion from the goldfish pituitary gland. Researchers have pioneered the field of neurotransmitters acting as developmental regulators. Their work on the neuronal and neuroendocrine control of reproduction and growth in teleost fishes led to the development of a commercial fish spawning kit. This team employs a variety of techniques to study the primitive nervous system of jellyfish.
Researchers study how water-borne pheromones control the reproductive behaviour of fish.
