Saprolegnia parasitica S1 and S2 Strains Differ in Zoospore Transition Timing and Pathogenicity Against Juvenile Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar). [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT S1 and S2 strains of S. parasitica are both common among diseased farmed salmonids in Nova Scotia, whereas globally S1 is rare and S2 is common. Following the initiation of asexual maturation and overnight incubation at 20°C then harvest, and incubation at 10°C in vitro, S2 secondary zoospores mostly transformed into cysts within 3 h, and by 6

Swimming behavior of emigrating Chinook Salmon smolts
PLOS ONE, 2022 Swimming behavior of Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolts affects transit time, route selection and survival in complex aquatic ecosystems. Behavior quantified at the river reach and junction scale is of particular importance for route selection and predator avoidance, though few studies have developed field-based approaches for quantifying

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 High mortality during grow out in the sea is a challenge for farmed Atlantic salmon production in Norway and globally, which is partly attributed to suboptimal smolt quality.

Fishes, 2023 Pre-harvest male maturation is problematic for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farmers and is regulated by the environment and genetics (e.g., vgll3). Five families of all-male salmon parr (produced using YY males crossed with XX females) with different ...
