Abstract
The fish pituitary gland assumes a pivotal role in regulating diverse physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, osmoregulation, and stress response. Positioned beneath the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, it comprises two main parts: the neurohypophysis, responsible for storing and releasing two hormones produced by the hypothalamus, and the adenohypophysis, which synthesizes up to eight hormones regulated by hypothalamic neurohormones. This highly plastic gland, responsive to signals from the brain, peripheral organs, and the environment, actively maintains homeostasis, demonstrating its adaptability to varied stimuli.
