Saprolegnia species in Norwegian salmon hatcheries: field survey identifies S. diclina sub-clade IIIB as the dominating taxon.
Saprolegnia isolates within the recognized clades encompassing the taxa S. parasitica and S. diclina act as opportunist and aggressive pathogens to both fish and their eggs. They are responsible for significant economic losses in aquaculture, particularly in salmonid hatcheries. However, the identity, distribution and pathogenic significance of involved species often remain unexplored. In this ...
متن کاملA Normative Theory of Forgetting: Lessons from the Fruit Fly
Recent experiments revealed that the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a dedicated mechanism for forgetting: blocking the G-protein Rac leads to slower and activating Rac to faster forgetting. This active form of forgetting lacks a satisfactory functional explanation. We investigated optimal decision making for an agent adapting to a stochastic environment where a stimulus may switch betwee...
متن کاملPotential effects of dams on migratory fish in the Mekong River: lessons from salmon in the Fraser and Columbia Rivers.
We compared the effects of water resource development on migratory fish in two North American rivers using a descriptive approach based on four high-level indicators: (1) trends in abundance of Pacific salmon, (2) reliance on artificial production to maintain fisheries, (3) proportion of adult salmon that are wild- versus hatchery-origin, and (4) number of salmon populations needing federal pro...
متن کاملNitrification of waste waters from fish-meal factories
Fish-meal factories generate waste waters with high chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), fats and protein concentrations. After their treatment by anaerobic digestion, effluents with high ammoniaand organic-nitrogen contents and a fraction of residual COD are produced. A biological nitrification/denitrification process is proposed to reduce both the residual carbon and the nitro...
متن کاملLessons from sea louse and salmon epidemiology.
Effective disease management can benefit from mathematical models that identify drivers of epidemiological change and guide decision-making. This is well illustrated in the host-parasite system of sea lice and salmon, which has been modelled extensively due to the economic costs associated with sea louse infections on salmon farms and the conservation concerns associated with sea louse infectio...
