With an ever-growing human population, the need for sustainable production of nutritional
food sources has never been greater. Aquaculture is a key industry engaged in active …

Abstract The Na+, K+ ATPase (NKA) enzyme is important to generate the transmembrane
ion gradient in the gills, intestine, and kidneys, hence, is vital for secondary transport of fluids …

Early maturation of Atlantic salmon male postsmolts is undesirable in aquaculture due to its
negative impact on growth, welfare and seawater adaptation, however it is an increasing …

Maturation of Atlantic salmon male postsmolts is a concern in aquaculture due to its
increasing occurrence under intensive rearing conditions and its negative impact on growth …

The quality of smolts is one of the key factors for successful salmon production. We
compared growth performance, physiological traits, and environmental adaptation in Atlantic …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is an anadromous salmonid that commonly undergoes a
transfer from land-based freshwater hatcheries to ocean-based sea pens for cultivation. For …

Smoltification is a key process in Atlantic salmon aquaculture, given it prepares the fish for a
successful transit from fresh to seawater. However, industry players have not yet reached a …

In this study, we investigated the effects of the artificial photoperiods that mimic summer
(16L: 8D; 16 h Light: 8 h Dark) and winter (8L: 16D) solstices, equinoxes (12L: 12D), and the …

Continuous photoperiod is extensively used in fish farming, to regulate the reproductive
cycle, despite evidence suggesting that artificial photoperiods can act as a stressor and …

Nephrocalcinosis is a widespread challenge in intensive production of salmon smolt. There
is however no consensus on its aetiology, which makes it problematic to implement proper …
