which often leads to thermal stress-induced starvation events in farmed Atlantic salmon, with …

Background The flesh pigmentation of farmed Atlantic salmon is formed by accumulation of
carotenoids derived from commercial diets. In the salmon gastrointestinal system, the …

Tasmanian-farmed Atlantic salmon populations exhibit starvation followed by a reduced
growth rate alongside reduced flesh pigmentation in response to elevated summer …

Selective breeding plays a vital role in the production of farmed Atlantic salmon and has
shown success in many aspects. Still, challenges related to fish health and welfare continue …

Spatial transcriptomics is a technique that provides insight into gene expression profiles in
tissue sections while retaining structural information. We have employed this method to …

Melanized focal changes (MFCs) in the fillet of farmed Atlantic salmon is a major quality
concern. The changes are thought to initially appear as acute red focal changes (RFCs) that …

Background The characteristic pink-reddish color in the salmonids fillet is an important,
appealing quality trait for consumers and producers. The color results from diet …
