| Abstract |
Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, are highly valued fish for both fisheries
and aquaculture in Canada and world-wide. Growth and reproduction in this
species have been widely studied and factors regulating their life cycle
including somatic growth, sexual maturation and reproduction, spawning,
smoltification have been extensively investigated. However, the molecular
mechanisms controlling expression of the hormones involved in these
processes are largely unknown. Pituitary cell cultures could be valuable
for elucidating these mechanisms, and cell lines derived from this
teleost's pituitary could make significant impacts in understanding growth
and hormonal regulation as well as endocrine disruption by environmental
contaminants. Here we report on the development of two continuous cell
lines derived from adult Atlantic salmon pituitary and their preliminary
characteristics.
