Extract

Although freshwater teleost cell and tissue culture is an established field, the in vitro maintenance and growth of marine or estuarine fish tissues and cells is less well reported (Wolf & Quimby, 1969). Small demersal gobiid teleosts of the genus Pomatoschistus Gill, 1864 are widely distributed and very abundant around the coast of Britain and play an extremely important role in estuarine and coastal ecosystems (Hartley, 1940; Miller, 1963, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Liverpool; Green, 1968). Excluding the in vitro maintenance of whole organs (e.g. Bonnin, 1971a, b and Doneen & Bern, 1974) the culture of cells or tissues from gobiids has not been reported.
