Feeding ecology of juvenile Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in a northeast Pacific fjord: diet, availability of zooplankton, selectivity for prey, and potential competition for prey resources [PDF]

, 2010
We investigated the feeding ecology of juvenile salmon during the critical early life-history stage of transition from shallow to deep marine waters by sampling two stations (190 m and 60 m deep) in a northeast Pacific fjord (Dabob Bay, WA) between May ...

Expression of corticoid‐regulatory genes in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and smolt and during salinity acclimation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...

Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) exhibit binge‐feeding and digestive flexibility during seasonal resource pulses associated with salmon migrations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Resource pulses are infrequent, ephemeral events of resource hyperabundance that can represent important feeding opportunities for consumers. To capitalize on pulsed resources, consumers can exhibit behavioural and physiological traits including binge‐feeding and phenotypic plasticity of digestive physiology, although expression of these ...

The effects of environmental stress on the physiology of growth in rainbow trout, Salmo gairderi Richardson [PDF]

, 1988
There is little doubt that both mammalian and teleost growth hormones can accelerate growth and increase food conversion efficiency in all commonly-reared species of salmonid fish.

Aerobic scope is sustained through a heatwave in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aquatic ectotherms are vulnerable to heatwave‐induced physiological stress, which arises from increased energy demands and reduced dissolved oxygen content in warmer waters. Understanding thermal physiology is critical for predicting how commercially and ecologically important populations could be affected by the increasing risk of rising ...

Contribution of muskeg channel habitats to juvenile coho salmon production in the Situk River, Alaska [PDF]

, 2006
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2006This study examines seasonal patters of habitat use by juvenile coho salmon in the Situk River and the importance of muskeg channels. To determine seasonal patterns I trapped fish from a range of habitats

The impact of isosmotic conditions on the metabolism and hypoxia tolerance of a reportedly oxyconforming teleost

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish must manage the competing demands of ion balance and gas exchange across the gills – a physiological tension known as the osmorespiratory compromise. In dynamic estuarine environments, the osmorespiratory compromise may be exacerbated by variable salinity and periods of hypoxia that demand high respiratory work.

Determination of population structure and stock composition of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in Russia determined with microsatellites [PDF]

, 2008
Variation at 14 microsatellite loci was examined in 34 chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) populations from Russia and evaluated for its use in the determination of population structure and stock composition in simulated mixed-stock fishery samples.

The continuous smooth hockey stick: a newly proposed spawner-recruitment model [PDF]

, 2008
Spawner-recruit relationships are important components of fisheries management. The two most widely used models have been criticized for unsatisfactory fits and biologically unreasonable extrapolations.

Epidemiology of Salmonid Rickettsial Septicemia (SRS) in Farmed Salmon: The Role of Sea Lice Infestations in Mortality Risk

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Piscirickettsia salmonis , the causal agent of salmonid rickettsial septicemia (SRS), is the main pathogen affecting farmed salmonids in Chile. Outbreaks of SRS lead to substantial economic losses for producers. Many determinants related to SRS outcomes are still poorly understood.
