Many amphibian captive breeding programs exhibit reproductive failure; however, an increasing number of species are being propagated and managed effectively with the aid of reproductive technologies. Here we review aspects of the amphibian hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal axis, discuss advances in hormone therapies and draw attention to animal welfare considerations.
