Figure 5.7 Relative whole-body concentrations of thyroid hormone in different teleosts
during larval and juvenile development. Developmental stage is indicated by the x-axis
and the horizontal black bar shows the approximate climax of the metamorphic period.
Black line indicates relative level of thyroxine (T4); gray line indicates relative level of tri-
iodothyronine (T3); lines redrawn from original figures. Relative concentrations shown
for three flatfish: (A) Halibut (
Galay-Burgos, Power, Llewellyn, & Sweeney, 2008
);
(B) Flounder (
Yamano & Miwa, 1998
); and (C) Sole (
Klaren et al., 2008

), two species of salmon:
