CONT

Vitellogenesis in decapod crustacea... has been shown to be mediated by hormones.... Female shrimps often do not mature fully, even though maturing eggs can be found in the ovaries. The maturation process seems to be inhibited by a gonad-inhibiting hormone(GIH)... The ablation(surgical removal) of eye stalks, which have the glands containing the inhibitory hormone, has been shown to accelerate vitellogenesis.
