Atlantic Salmon in Maine

Atlantic salmon – Salmo salar

Distribution Th e species’ range encompasses Europe, North America, and Green land (1) (Fig.1). Non-anadromous forms occur in Europe in a few land-locked locations in Norway and Sweden, and throughout the Neva/Lake Ladoga system and Karelia regions of Russia. In North America non-anadromous forms occurred throughout most of the species’ historical range, as far west as Lake Ontario, and remain ...

The Epidemiology of Hemorrhagic Kidney Syndrome - Infectious Salmon Anemia in Atlantic Salmon in Atlantic Canada

Hemorrhagic Kidney Syndrome (HKS) is characterized by high mortality rates in Atlantic salmon seawater sites with unique histological kidney lesions. Virus isolation results were positive for the orthomyxovirus responsible for Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) experienced by Norway and also a new virus tentatively classified in the Togaviridae family was isolated in some, but not all outbreaks. Th...

Effect of feeding rate on nutrient digestibility in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.

A digestibility trial was conducted to examine the effect of feeding rate on dry matter, gross energy, crude protein and phosphorus digestibility in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Duplicate groups of fish were fed 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.9% BW/day. The faeces were collected by Guelph-type collectors for five successive days. Dry matter, protein and phosphorus digestibility’s were all s...

Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) mucosal infection in Atlantic salmon

All viruses infecting fish must cross the surface mucosal barrier to successfully enter a host. Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), the causative agent of the economically important infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., has been shown to use the gills as its entry point. However, other entry ports have not been investigated despite the expression of virus recep...
