Characterization of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) insulin

Regulatory Peptides, 1985
Insulin has been isolated from islet tissue of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) by gel filtration and HPLC and the complete amino acid sequence has been determined. The sequence differs from bovine insulin at 14 sites but all interchanges are conservative from the viewpoint of preservation of conformation. A comparison of insulin sequences from other

When Is a Coho Salmon Not a Coho Salmon?

Science, 2001
A U.S. federal judge has ruled that hand-reared fish should be counted in efforts to save wild, imperiled salmon, and the U.S. government earlier this month decided not to challenge the ruling. As a result, two dozen West Coast salmon runs could be stripped from the endangered species list.

Gonadotropins I and II in juvenile coho salmon

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 1989
The present study was designed to obtain basic endocrine information on GTH I and GTH II in previtellogenic and prespermatogenic coho salmon (immature). Levels of GTH II in pituitary extracts were 6.5 ± 2.0 and 6.7 ± 2.0 pg/μg pituitary protein in male and female fish, respectively. In contrast, the pituitary content of GTH I was approximately 100-fold

Inheritance of Allozymes in Coho Salmon

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1998
Abstract We examined allozyme variation in the parents and offspring of 41 crossings of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch. Mendelian inheritance previously unreported for Pacific salmon was confirmed at 11 loci: sAAT-4*, sAH*, ALAT*, EST-1*, βGALA*, GAPDH-2*, GPI-B2*, sMDH-A1,2*, PEPA*, PEPC*, and PNP-1*.

Triploid Coho Salmon Outperform Diploid and Triploid Hybrids Between Coho Salmon and Chinook Salmon During Their First Year

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 1994
Sterile hybrid and triploid fish may provide hatchery programs with a tool to reduce the risk of genetic contamination of wild stocks, provided these fish have acceptable performance characteristics. We examined growth, survival, and deformities in diploid and triploid families of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and hybrids between coho salmon ...

DNA homologies between the rainbow trout, chum salmon and coho salmon

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1985
The thermal stabilities of hybrid duplexes between the DNAs from three salmonid fish species were monitored as measures of DNA homology. The chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, and coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, had more DNA homology with each other than either had with the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdnerii.

Coho salmon dependence on intermittent streams

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2006
In February 2006, the US Supreme Court heard cases that may affect whether intermittent streams are jurisdictional waters under the Clean Water Act. In June 2006, however, the cases were remanded to the circuit court, leaving the status of intermittent streams uncertain once again.

Folic Acid Anemia in Coho Salmon

Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1969
Juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) fed a folic acid-deficient diet and sampled at 6, 9, 12, and 14 weeks developed macrocytic anemia. The anemia, first observed at 6 weeks, was characterized by a significant reduction in red blood cell count as well as macrocytosis and poikilocytosis of erythrocytes.

Genetics and broodstock management of coho salmon

Aquaculture, 2001
Abstract The success of finfish broodstock operations for both aquaculture and captive restoration purposes will depend on accurate prediction and management of the influences of a myriad of genetic effects. Broodstock development programs for aquacultural species have historically relied on terrestrial models.

Indicators of Energetic Status in Juvenile Coho Salmon and Chinook Salmon

North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 2005
Abstract Bioenergetic models frequently rely on published values or models for estimating the energy density of fish, principally because of the cost and effort of obtaining direct measurements. In this study, we developed empirical models of energy density for free-ranging juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch and Chinook salmon O ...
