Abstract
SUMMARY: Exophthalmos was produced by the androgens methyl testosterone and testosterone phenylacetate, but not by oestradiol dipropionate, in two species of teleost fish, Sparisoma squalidum and Scarus croicensis. Marked exophthalmos was produced by l-thyroxine and 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine in the above two species and also in Bathystoma aurolineatum. The thyroidal origin of exophthalmia in fish is discussed.
