The influence of freshwater environment on muscle growth in seawater was investigated in an inbred population of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar

چکیده
(Weatherley and Gill, 1987). Muscle fibres reach a maximum diameter, which is dictated by metabolic demands and diffusional constraints related to nutrient assimilation and/or metabolite removal. An important consequence of indeterminate growth is that the number of fibres needs to increase throughout much of the life cycle as the muscle mass increases, involving a prolonged period of postembryonic 1337 The Journal of Experimental Biology 206, 1337-1351 © 2003 The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jeb.00262

Effect 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 کاملA Novel Betaproteobacterial Agent of Gill Epitheliocystis in Seawater Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
Epitheliocystis, a disease characterised by cytoplasmic bacterial inclusions (cysts) in the gill and less commonly skin epithelial cells, has been reported in many marine and freshwater fish species and may be associated with mortality. Previously, molecular and ultrastructural analyses have exclusively associated members of the Chlamydiae with such inclusions. Here we investigated a population...
متن کاملA common garden design reveals population‐specific variability in potential impacts of hybridization between populations of farmed and wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
Released individuals can have negative impacts on native populations through various mechanisms, including competition, disease transfer and introduction of maladapted gene complexes. Previous studies indicate that the level of farmed Atlantic salmon introgression in native populations is population specific. However, few studies have explored the potential role of population diversity or river...
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 کاملPlatyspondyly and shortness of vertebral column in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in Norway--description and interpretation of pathologic changes.
Body malformation due to shortness of the vertebral column, in most cases of unknown cause, has been observed in fish for more than 100 yr. It periodically occurs with high prevalence in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in Norway, and this paper describes the results of macroscopic, radiographic and histologic examination of parr and seawater-transferred fish. The vertebral bodies in both age...
