Project description:We investigated salinity adaptation during the migration from freshwater to seawater of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) by examining the hypothesis that: The brain is the central organ for the co-ordination of environmental cues (day length, photoperiod, temperature and environmental salinity) with the anatomical and physiological adaptations which accompany pre-migrational morphogenesis and the osmoregulatory plasticity seen in post-migrational, salinity-adapted fish. We have characertised the mRNA expression profiles for the brains of fresh water and sea water adapted silver eel using a highly representative brain cDNA microarray. The array comprises 5760 cDNA clones from A.anguilla ranging from 0.5 -10 kb and an estimated redundancy of > 5 %.
