Abstract：
:Interrenal tissue from embryonic and larval rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was cultured in vitro and exposed to various doses of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) to document the ontogeny of interrenal responsiveness to tropic stimulation. Resting and acute stress-induced changes in whole-body cortisol levels in vivo were also measured to determine if the corticosteroid stress response first develops with the onset of interrenal responsiveness to ACTH. No evidence was found that the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis of rainbow trout is transiently activated prior to hatching. In vivo, a corticosteroid stress response was first observed 2 weeks after hatching, and stress-induced cortisol levels (at 1 hr poststress) were significantly higher 3 weeks after hatching than they were at 2 or 4 weeks after hatching. In contrast, cultured interrenal tissue produced significant levels of cortisol in response to ACTH at the time of hatching, and in vitro cortisol production by the interrenal increased significantly between 3 and 4 weeks after hatching. Interrenal sensitivity to ACTH did not change appreciably with development. We conclude that (1) the final maturation of the corticosteroid stress response in rainbow trout occurs at the level of the brain and/or sensory inputs and not at the level of the interrenal cell; (2) negative feedback mechanisms within the HPI axis develop 3 to 4 weeks after hatching; and (3) the period between 3 and 4 weeks after hatching may be homologous to the stress hyporesponsive period after birth in mammals and thus could be a stage when environmental influences can permanently alter the development of the corticosteroid stress response in rainbow trout.
