The fish pineal organ, through its 24 h rhythmic release of melatonin, acts as a transducer of the photoperiod, influencing different physiological functions (e.g. reproduction, growth). We have investigated the binding of 2‐[125I]iodomelatonin to whole brain membrane preparations from pikes (Esox lucius L., teleost) maintained for 24–48 h under different photoperiodic conditions. Specific binding was stable, reversible, saturable and sensitive to the presence of a GTP analogue. Scatchard analysis revealed one class of binding sites. Displacement experiments suggested the presence of two components with affinities in the femtomolar and nanomolar range of concentrations, respectively. The Bmax exhibited monophasic nycthemeral variations, with higher values at the light‐to‐dark transition (34.0±4.5 fmol/mg protein) and low values during the second half of night (10.0±1.0 fmol/mg protein). Under the same conditions, the KD exhibited biphasic variations: values were low during daytime and at the middle of the dark phase (approximately 100 pM); they were high at the beginning (approximately 225 pM) and at the end (approximately 330 pM) of the night. These variations were maintained under constant light (LL) and constant darkness (DD). Thus, the variations in the number and affinity of the melatonin binding sites were controlled by circadian oscillators, synchronized by the photoperiod. The nature of these oscillators is not known. Therefore, in fish, we suggest that the photodependent effects of melatonin result from the circadian variations of both its production by the pineal and its binding sites in the brain.
