چکیده
Zaugg, W.S. and Beckman, B.R., 1990. Saltwater-induced decreases i n weight and Length relative t o seasonal gill Na+-K+ ATPase changes i n coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch): a test for saltwater adaptability. Aquaculture, 86: 19-23. Juvenile coho salmon challenged for 24 h i n 31 ppt seawater experienced decreases i n weight and length. These decreases became significantly less pronounced during the period o f rise i n gill Na+-K+ ATPase activity induced during parr-smolt transformation. It is suggested that these saltwater-induced changes in weight and length could be used as simple tests o f seawater readiness.

In vitro stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity and ouabain binding by cortisol in coho salmon gill.
To investigate the hormonal control of gill Na+-K+-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) (the sodium pump) in coho salmon, a technique for the culture of primary gill filaments for up to 4 days was developed. Trypan blue exclusion was greater than 99.9%, histological appearance of the cells was normal, and total [Na+], [K+], and protein content of gill filaments cultured for 2-4 days was unchanged f...

The potential effects of growth hormone (GH), prolactin (Prl), and triiodothyronine (T3) on gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity and corticosteroid receptor (CR) concentration (Bmax) and dissociation constant (Kd) were examined in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Compared to controls, fish injected with GH (ovine, 5.0 microgram g-1) had significantly greater gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity after 7 an...

Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch Walbaum) parrs and smolts, maintained in a laboratory under a fixed artificial 12 h light:12 h dark photoperiod from the time of hatching, exhibited a pattern of alternating periods of rapid and slow growth in body mass; the peaks and troughs in growth rate were significantly different from one another. The alternating growth rate changes were rhythmic in natur...

متن کاملRelationship of otolith strontium-to-calcium ratios and salinity: experimental validation for juvenile salmonids
Analysis of otolith strontium (Sr) or strontium-to-calcium (Sr:Ca) ratios provides a powerful tool to reconstruct the chronology of migration among salinity environments for diadromous salmonids. Although use of this method has been validated by examination of known individuals and translocation experiments, it has never been validated under controlled experimental conditions. In this study, in...
