Endangered wild salmon infected by newly discovered viruses
eLife, 2019 The collapse of iconic, keystone populations of sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon in the Northeast Pacific is of great concern. It is thought that infectious disease may contribute to declines, but little is known

The geometry of reaction norms yields insights on classical fitness functions for Great Lakes salmon. [PDF]
, 2020 Life history theory examines how characteristics of organisms, such as age and size at maturity, may vary through natural selection as evolutionary responses that optimize fitness.

Endangered predators and endangered prey: Seasonal diet of Southern Resident killer whales.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Understanding diet is critical for conservation of endangered predators. Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW) (Orcinus orca) are an endangered population occurring primarily along the outer coast and inland waters of Washington and British Columbia ...

Multigenerational outbreeding effects in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) [PDF]
Genetica, 2014 Outbreeding, mating between genetically divergent individuals, may result in negative fitness consequences for offspring via outbreeding depression. Outbreeding effects are of notable concern in salmonid research as outbreeding can have major implications for salmon aquaculture and conservation management. We therefore quantified outbreeding effects in

Jellyfish in Pacific salmon food
Известия ТИНРО, 2022 Ctenophores, hydroid jellyfish, appendicularians, salpas, and the pteropoda mollusk Clione limacina, conditionally combined into the group of “jellyfish”, are found in the food of all Pacific salmon — chum salmon, pink salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon

Purification and biological characterization of chinook salmon prolactin [PDF]
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1984 Prolactin from chinook salmon pituitaries was purified by acid acetone extraction, saline precipitation, chromatofocusing, and gel filtration. This procedure allowed us to recover highly purified prolactin as demonstrated by the presence of a single NH2-terminal amino acid and a single band in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis.

Polyphyletic ancestry of expanding Patagonian Chinook salmon populations [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractChinook salmon native to North America are spreading through South America’s Patagonia and have become the most widespread anadromous salmon invasion ever documented. To better understand the colonization history and role that genetic diversity might have played in the founding and radiation of these new populations, we characterized ancestry ...

Global Ecology and ConservationThe southern resident killer whale (Orcinus orca, SRKW) population is listed as endangered in both the U.S. and Canada. Reduced prey availability, especially of Chinook salmon, is recognized as an important limiting factor for this population.

Environment International, 2020 Biotransport is often associated with migration patterns of species, including large, anadromous salmonids. Several studies have reported biotransport of persistent organic pollutants in the Northern Hemisphere, but there is no published information on ...
