SURGICAL LIFE EXTENSIONS. “Optic gland removal in O. hummelincki causes cessation of brooding, reinstates normal feeding behavior, and extends life. In fishes, removal of the gonads (Pacific salmon, lampreys) or of the pituitary gland (lampreys) and prevention of mating (eels) can substantially increase life span. Similarly in small marsupials, castration or prevention of mating can increase male life span up to that of females.”
