Modeling the accumulation of CO2 during high density, re-circulating transport of adult Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, from observations aboard a sea-going commercial live-haul vessel
a r t i c l e i n f o A major water quality concern for salmon welfare during closed-hold transport at sea is the progressive accumulation of CO 2 generated via fish respiration. Experiments showed that loads in excess of 13,000 adult Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, being transported at an average density of 135 ± 4 kg m − 3 , experienced a rapid deterioration of water quality with the partial pr...
متن کاملEffect of feeding rate on nutrient digestibility in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
A digestibility trial was conducted to examine the effect of feeding rate on dry matter, gross energy, crude protein and phosphorus digestibility in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Duplicate groups of fish were fed 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.9% BW/day. The faeces were collected by Guelph-type collectors for five successive days. Dry matter, protein and phosphorus digestibility’s were all s...
متن کاملHistopathological 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: ...

متن کاملTranscriptional profiling of the parr-smolt transformation in Atlantic salmon.
The parr-smolt transformation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a complex developmental process that culminates in the ability to migrate to and live in seawater. We used GRASP 16K cDNA microarrays to identify genes that are differentially expressed in the liver, gill, hypothalamus, pituitary, and olfactory rosettes of smolts compared to parr. Smolts had higher levels of gill Na(+)/K(+)-ATPas...
