Abstract Cultivation of fish cells is generally carried out under static conditions using a flask or a dish providing the surface for cell adhesion. However, a notable report by Lidgerding (1981) described the development of suspension culture of fish cells such as chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) embryo (CHSE-214) cells and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) (FHM) cells, in a viscid culture medium using 0.15% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). However, the potentiality of such cultures to support the replication of some viruses was poor. In the present study we conducted the suspension culture of CHSE-214 cells in a spinner flask with normal culture medium in order to retain the susceptibility to viruses.
