Changes in Chum Salmon Plasma Levels of Steroid Hormones during Onset of the Spawning Migration in the Bering Sea
After a few years of oceanic life, Japanese chum salmon migrate to their natal rivers from the Bering Sea. Previous studies have demonstrated involvement of the brain-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in regulation of the spawning migration. In homing chum salmon, expression of genes encoding salmon gona...
