Genomic Resources for Immunology and Disease of Salmonid and Non-Salmonid Fish

Occurrence and significance of atypical Aeromonas salmonicida in non-salmonid and salmonid fish species: a review.

Bacterial strains of Aeromonas salmonicida included in the recognized subsp. acromogenes, subsp. masoucida, and subsp. smithia in addition to the large number of strains not included in any of the described subspecies are referred to as atypical A. salmonicida. The atypical strains form a very heterogeneous group with respect to biochemical characteristics, growth conditions, and production of ...

Salmonid Whirling Disease

Sex-biased dispersal in a salmonid fish.

We tested the hypothesis that dispersal is sex biased in an unexploited population of brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, on Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada. Based on the assumptions that trout are promiscuous and that reproductive success is limited primarily by either number of mates (males) or fecundity (females), we predicted that males would disperse greater distances than females. We also...

Techniques for diagnosing viral diseases of salmonid fish

Cell culture for amplification and the techniques most used for identification of salmonid viruses neutralization, immunofluorescence and, to a lesser extent, immunoperoxldase, complen~ent fixation, agglutination, electron microscopy, immunodifussion or radioimmunoassay may soon be replaced by other techniques such as enzyme immunoassays (immunodot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA) ...
