Farmed Escapees Threaten MHC Diversity in Wild Atlantic Salmon [PDF]
Wild Atlantic salmon populations in Norway and elsewhere are experiencing long‐term declines driven by reduced marine survival, climate change, impacts from aquaculture, introduction of alien species, and environmental degradation.

Empirical analyses of the length, weight, and condition of adult Atlantic salmon on return to the Scottish coast between 1963 and 2006 [PDF]
Sea age, size, and condition of adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are prime determinants of individual, and hence population, productivity. To elucidate potential mechanisms, 151 000 records of salmon returning to six Scottish coastal sites over 44 ...

The efficacy of emamectin benzoate against infestations of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) in Scotland, 2002-2006 [PDF]
Infestations of the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis, commonly referred to as sea lice, represent a major challenge to commercial salmon aquaculture. Dependence on a limited number of theraputants to control such infestations has led to concerns

Water holding properties of Atlantic salmon [PDF]
Abstract With global seafood production increasing to feed the rising population, there is a need to produce fish and fishery products of high quality and freshness. Water holding properties, including drip loss (DL) and water holding capacity (WHC), are important parameters in determining fish quality as they affect functional ...

Carotenoid dynamics in Atlantic salmon [PDF]
Abstract Background Carotenoids are pigment molecules produced mainly in plants and heavily exploited by a wide range of organisms higher up in the food-chain. The fundamental processes regulating how carotenoids are absorbed and metabolized in vertebrates are still not fully understood.

CD4 homologues in Atlantic salmon [PDF]
In mammals CD4 is a membrane glycoprotein on Th cells with four extracellular immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) domains (D1-D4). It functions as a co-receptor during immune recognition between the TCR and the MHC II/peptide complex. The cytoplasmic domain binds p56lck, a protein kinase responsible for phosphorylating CD3 which is the first interaction in a

Piscine orthoreovirus sequences in escaped farmed Atlantic salmon in Washington and British Columbia
Background Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is an emergent virus in salmon aquaculture belonging to the family Reoviridae. PRV is associated with a growing list of pathological conditions including heart and skeletal inflammation (HSMI) of farmed Atlantic ...

A description of the origins, design and performance of the TRAITS-SGP Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. cDNA microarray [PDF]
The origins, design, fabrication and performance of an Atlantic salmon microarray are described. The microarray comprises 16 950 Atlantic salmon-derived cDNA features, printed in duplicate and mostly sourced from pre-existing expressed sequence tag (EST)

Redefining the oceanic distribution of Atlantic salmon [PDF]
AbstractDetermining the mechanisms driving range-wide reductions in Atlantic salmon marine survival is hindered by an insufficient understanding of their oceanic ecology and distribution. We attached 204 pop-up satellite archival tags to post-spawned salmon when they migrated to the ocean from seven European areas and maiden North American salmon ...
