✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Trout retinae were shown to contain melatonin, which was present in highest (p<.05) concentration during the photophase portion of a light‐dark cycle. Pinealectomy was found not to perturb either the rhythm or the titer of retina melatonin. These results suggest that the trout retina is a melatonin‐synthesizing tissue.

## Abstract We studied the effect of environmental lighting on the level of melatonin in the retinae of guinea pigs. Male pigmented guinea pigs were adapted to 12‐hour light: 12‐hour dark (with lights on at 0600 hours) for 2 weeks. In experiment 1, two groups of animals were decapitated at 1600 and
