The adenohypophysis of the greater weever fish (Trachinus draco) was studied using histochemical and immunocytochemical methods. The adenohypophysis comprised the rostral pars distalis (RPD), the proximal pars distalis (PPD), and the pars intermedia (PI). Neurohypophysis showed a patent hypophyseal stalk which was divided into several branches intermingled with the adenohypophysis. Salmon prolactin (PRL)-immunoreactive (ir) cells, arranged in follicles, resided in the RPD and the most rostral part of the ventral PPD. Human adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-ir cells were located in the RPD between PRL-ir cells and the neurohypophyseal processes. Salmon and seabream somatotropin (GH)-ir cells were located in both the dorsal and the ventral PPD. Some GH-ir cells were seen in surrounding and in contact with neurohypophyseal branches, whereas other isolated or clustered GH-ir cells were embedded in adenohypophyseal cells of the PPD. In addition, isolated or clustered GH-ir cells were also detected in the tissue of the PPD covering the most rostral part of PI. Only one class of salmon and carp gonadotropin (GTH)-ir cells was detected. Isolated or clustered GTH-ir cells resided in both the dorsal and the ventral PPD and were seen surrounding the PI and in the tissue of the PPD covering the most rostral part of PI. In addition, a few scattered GTH-ir cells were observed in the ventral RPD. Scattered groups of thyrotropin (TSH)-ir cells were present in the anteroventral PPD. Salmon and seabream somatolactin (SL)-ir and bovine melanotropin (MSH)-ir cells were intermingled surrounding the neurohypophyseal tissue. SL-ir cells were negative to periodic acid-Schiff technique. MSH-ir cells showed a very weak immunoreactivity to anti-human ACTH((1-24)) serum. In addition to the PI location, few isolated or clustered SL- and MSH-ir cells were observed in the dorsal PPD.
