Recent studies have indicated that a number of teleosts release hormones (steroids and prostaglandins) which may function as pheromones and synchronise reproductive behaviour and physiology in conspecifics. In Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) certain F-series prostaglandins (PGFs) have a priming effect on levels of plasma steroids and gonadotrophin II in mature male parr (Waring & Moore this volume). The present study examined the olfactory sensitivity of male Atlantic salmon to four PGFs either considered, or known, to have a pheromonal role in salmonid reproduction.
