Abstract
Abstract Surgical removal of part of the zone of erythrosinophilic cells (rostral pars distalis, pro-adenohypophysis) in the pituitary gland impaired the ability of Poecilia latipinna to adapt to freshwater, but had no effect on growth rate. These results confirm that the erythrosinophils secrete the prolactin-like hormone essential for freshwater adaptation, and show that this hormone is distinct from growth hormone, which appears to be secreted by the orange G acidophils located in the middle of the gland (proximal pars distalis, meso-adenohypophysis).
