    Notes: Summary In the adenohypophysis of Cichlasoma biocellatum, which may be divided into a pro-, meso-, and meta-adenohypophysis, seven cell types can be distinguished. Treatment with deionized- and salt water effects three of these cell types. The rostral acidophils, which were proved to produce prolactin by means of an immunochemical method, are distinctly stimulated in deionized water and markedly inactivated in 25% sea-water. The putative ACTH cells, bordering neurohypophysial branches in the pro-adenohypophysis, are moderately stimulated by both treatments. The presumptive TSH cells, which in control animals appear to be very active, do not show marked changes in deionized water; they are strikingly inactivated, however, in salt water specimens.

    Notes: Summary In order to identify the thyrotropic cells in the pituitary gland of Cichlasoma biocellatum, adult animals were treated with thyroxine. Periodic acid Schiff (PAS)- and aldehyde fuchsin (AF)-positive, and Alcian blue (AB)-negative basophils in the meso-adenohypophysis as well as the thyroid were strongly inactivated by such treatment. Since other cell types in the adenohypophysis were not affected, it is concluded that the PAS-positive and AB-negative basophils in the meso-adenohypophysis are the thyrotrops. In normal animals the thyrotrops and the thyroid are very active. Propylthiouracil did not cause a further activation of TSH cells. Keeping the animals in 25% sea-water caused a strong inactivation of the prolactin cells, the thyrotrops and the thyroid. In deionized water the prolactin cells were stimulated, but the thyroid was less active than in controls. Injections of ovine prolactin did not enhance the activity of the thyroid in salt water animals. It is suggested that in Cichlasoma biocellatum prolactin does not have a direct stimulatory effect on the thyroid.

    The ultrastructure and renewal of the intestinal epithelium of the juvenile grasscarp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Val.) (1978)

    Notes: Summary The intestinal absorptive epithelium of starved and fed fish has been studied electron microscopically. After feeding, cells of the proximal segment of the intestine show morphological characteristics of lipid absorption. Absorptive cells in the middle segment contain many pinocytotic vesicles in both fasted and fed specimens. Absorption of protein macromolecules is supposed to be one of the main functions of this part of the gut. In the most caudal part of the intestine, absorptive cells carry relatively few and short microvilli. The proximal and distal segments show structural indications of a function in osmoregulation. The renewal of the epithelium has been studied with light microscopic autoradiography, using tritiated thymidine. The intestinal mucosal fold epithelium represents a cell renewal system. The cells proliferate at the base of the fold and migrate towards the apex in 10–15 days at 20° C. The functional absorptive cells proved to be generally present in the intestinal epithelium, including the proliferative area. Undifferentiated cells have not been identified. The results will be compared with data on absorption of lipid and protein macromolecules in teleostean and mammalian intestines and with descriptions of the cell renewal system in the mammalian intestine.

    Notes: Summary The development of the stomach of the teleost, Clarias lazera, during the early posthatching period, is described, and the developing stomach is compared with that of adult Clarias. The stomach develops in two distinct parts: the corpus, which differentiates first, and the pylorus. The corpus contains a mucous surface epithelium, arranged in folds, and a tubular gland system containing only one type of gland cell, to which the secretion of pepsinogen and HCl is attributed. The pyloric region does not contain tubular glands. From the ultrastructure of the gland cells, the 3H-thymidine labeling index, and the onset of acid production (as determined with pH indicators) it is concluded that a functional stomach is present in juveniles with a standard length of ± 11 mm (approximately 12 days after fertilization at 23–24° C). The ultrastructure of the intestinal epithelium has also been studied. The intestine consists of three segments, similar to those described for stomachless teleosts and a number of fish larvae. In larvae as well as in juveniles, the enterocytes of the second segment show pinocytosis of horseradish peroxidase, although in the juveniles the stomach has already developed. This second segment has the same relative length in all studied larvae and juveniles and is also present in adult Clarias. It is therefore concluded that the capacity to absorb protein macromolecules is not specifically related to the absence of a functional stomach in this teleost species.
