Though I had known about the metamorphosis stage in flatfish where one eye migrates to the other side and the skull goes through morphological changes, I never knew that it was activated by the interaction between the thyroid hormone and retinoic acid. That being said, I wonder if a deficiency in retinoic acid or thyroid hormone would prevent the eye migration and affect flatfish behavior, or if a deficiency would only end in its early death.Shannon Bleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388052755621222336noreply@blogger.com
