Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) dominates aquaculture production in its native North Atlantic
range, raising concerns about the impacts of escaped farmed fish on wild populations. While …

The teleost fishes are the largest and most diverse vertebrate group, accounting for nearly
half of all known vertebrate species. Teleost fish exhibit greater species diversity than any …

Telomerase activity has been found in the somatic tissues of rainbow trout. The enzyme is
essential for maintaining telomere length but also assures homeostasis of the fish organs …

In salmon farming, the use of sterile triploids (3N) can mitigate the problem of escapees
interbreeding with wild salmon. However, triploid salmon appear less tolerant to high water …

Avoiding genetic interactions between wild and farmed Atlantic salmon is regarded as one
of the major requirements for a sustainable salmon aquaculture industry. For this reason …

The effect of a dietary phosphorus regime in freshwater on vertebra bone mineralization was
assessed in diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. Fish were fed either a low …

While research into the growth, survival, nutrition and, more recently, disease susceptibility
of triploid Atlantic salmon has expanded, there remains an overall lack of studies assessing …

Abstract Diploid (2N) and triploid (3N) sibling post-smolts were divided between six sea
pens and fed: a standard commercial nutrient package diet (2× 2N SP, 2× 3N SP), or an iso …

The mechanisms that underlie thermal tolerance in aquatic ectotherms remain unresolved.
Triploid fish have been reported to exhibit lower thermal tolerance than diploids, offering a …

Using sterile triploid salmon is of interest to fish farmers as a means to mitigate interbreeding
between farmed and wild fish, prevent pre-harvest maturation and offer potential for faster …
