Establishment and Characterization of a Fin Cell Line Derived from the Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar and Its Application to Fish Virology Study

Atlantic salmon Salmo salar : evidence from fin damage

Dorsal fin damage in salmonid fishes is primarily caused by aggression. While undesirable in fish culture, it can nevertheless be a useful tool to study social interactions in large groups of fish where it is difficult to study the behaviour of known individuals directly. We used low Ž . temperature treatment to manipulate the growth rates of juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the spring a...

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 ...

Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758

Histopathological study of gills in experimentally amoebic gill disease (AGD) infected Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, L.

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is the most important parasitic disease of Atlantic salmon industry inAustralia. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) experimentally infected with Neoparamoeba sp. apparently showedAGD gross signs on the gill and an amoebic-associated gill pathology. Physico-chemical factors of waterduring the experiment were monitored regularly and were approximately constant (temperature: ...

Immunoglobulin Isotypes in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo Salar

There are three major immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes in salmonid fish: IgM, IgD and IgT, defined by the heavy chains μ, δ and τ, respectively. As a result of whole genome duplication in the ancestor of the salmonid fish family, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) possess two highly similar Ig heavy chain gene complexes (A and B), comprising two μ genes, two δ genes, three intact τ genes and five τ pseu...
