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.
