Relation between the reproductive status and somatolactin cell activity in the pituitary of pejerrey, Odontesthes bonariensis (Atheriniformes)

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between somatolactin (SL) expressing cells and the reproductive status in a multiple spawning fish, the pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis. Somatolactin cells were identified in adults of both sexes by immunocytochemistry using a heterologous pisci...
