Effects of systemic versus local gentamicin on the inner ear in the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua (L.), relevance for fish hearing investigations.

Exophiala angulospora causes systemic inflammation in atlantic cod Gadus morhua.

Species of Exophiala are opportunistic fungal pathogens that may infect a broad range of warm- and cold-blooded animals, including salmonids and Atlantic cod. In the present study, we observed abnormal swimming behaviour and skin pigmentation and increased mortality in cod kept in an indoor tank. Necropsy revealed foci of different sizes with a greyish to brownish colour in internal organs of d...

Effects of ocean acidification on the calcification of otoliths of larval Atlantic cod Gadus morhua

The growth and development of the aragonitic CaCO3 otoliths of teleost fish could be vulnerable to processes resulting from ocean acidification. The potential effects of an increase in atmospheric CO2 on the calcification of the otoliths were investigated by rearing Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. larvae in 3 pCO2 concentrations — control (370 μatm), medium (1800 μatm) and high (4200 μatm) — from ...

Effects of Salt and Bittern on Inosinic acid- and Inosine-Degrading Enzyme Activity in Pacific Cod Muscle

Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) inhabits the entire North Pacific region and supports the third largest fishery after walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Although walleye pollock is often processed into various food products, Pacific and Atlantic cod are often preserved using salt for transport and consumption worldwide. Salt suppresses bacterial growth an...

EFFECTS OF PHOTOPERIOD MANIPULATION ON GROWTH AND REPRODUCTION IN ATLANTIC COD (Gadus morhua L.) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

Genomic Sequencing of Ranaviruses Isolated from Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)

Ranaviruses have been isolated from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in Denmark. Phylogenomic analyses revealed that these two ranaviruses are nearly identical and form a distinct clade at the base of the ranavirus tree branching off near other fish ranaviruses.
