Factors associated with baseline mortality in Norwegian Atlantic salmon farming [PDF]
In 2019, it was estimated that more than 50 million captive Atlantic salmon in Norway died in the final stage of their production in marine cages. This mortality represents a significant economic loss for producers and a need to improve welfare for ...

Changes in bacterial community composition and antibiotic resistance profiles of coral-associated microbiota in the vicinity of Chilean salmon farms [PDF]
The extensive use of antibiotics in Chilean salmon farming raises concerns about harmful effects on benthic habitats, particularly the iconic cold-water coral (CWC) banks in semi-enclosed fjords.

Impact of salmon farming in the antibiotic resistance and structure of marine bacterial communities from surface seawater of a northern Patagonian area of Chile [PDF]
Background Aquaculture and salmon farming can cause environmental problems due to the pollution of the surrounding waters with nutrients, solid wastes and chemicals, such as antibiotics, which are used for disease control in the aquaculture facilities ...

Stable isotope analysis suggests nutrient connectivity between salmon and kelp within a commercial scale open coast integrated multi-trophic aquaculture system [PDF]
This study explores nutrient connectivity between Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) within a commercial-scale integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) system in Bantry Bay, Ireland.

First record of experimentally induced salmon gill poxvirus disease (SGPVD) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) [PDF]
Salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) infection is a common denominator in many cases of complex gill disease in the Norwegian salmon farming industry and may, as a single agent infection, result in salmon poxvirus disease (SGPVD).

Antibiotic use in Chilean salmon aquaculture: antimicrobial resistance, sustainability, and One Health implications [PDF]
Aquaculture has expanded rapidly over recent decades, positioning salmon farming as a major contributor to global food security while intensifying concern over antimicrobial use and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Ecological dynamics of the Atlantic salmon gut microbiota across developmental phases and geographic regions [PDF]
The gut microbiota is vital to host health, yet the relative influence of host traits and environmental factors on fish gut microbiota dynamics remains underexplored. We investigated the ecological dynamics of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota

Effect of plastic and seaweed shelters on the skin microbiome of lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus used as cleaner fish in aquaculture pens. [PDF]
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture is a major industry in several countries worldwide and a growing enterprise in others. One of the main challenges the industry faces is infestations with the parasitic copepod Lepeoptheirus salmonis, or salmon ...

Does density influence relative growth performance of farm, wild and F1 hybrid Atlantic salmon in semi-natural and hatchery common garden conditions? [PDF]
The conditions encountered by Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in aquaculture are markedly different from the natural environment. Typically, farmed salmon experience much higher densities than wild individuals, and may therefore have adapted to living ...
