The developing flatfish head undergoes striking morphological changes from hatching
through metamorphosis: coming along with eye migration some organ systems grow
asymmetrically, some retain their original bilateral symmetry. Questions arise about
the presence of solid obstacles on the path of the migrating eye, or about geometrical
changes in the vestibulo-oculomotoric system, etc. Whereas several details of this
complex process are well known, up to now no attempt was undertaken to show all
organ systems involved together to elucidate their stereological interdependencies.
