title: A fish cell line from gonads of cod (Gadus morhua).
abstract: Attempts to establish a cell line from cod fins and gonads were employed by a trypsinising and mincing method. The mincing method allowed growth from gonads of fibroblast like cells, which could be subcultivated continuously at 15-20 degrees C. The cell line is susceptible to virus. The mean number of chromosomes is 64. Two genetically different populations of cells are present in the cell line.
