Genome‐wide identification of catfish antimicrobial peptides: a new perspective to enhance fish disease resistance
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also known as host defence peptides, are evolutionarily
ancient defensive weapons that can combat infections caused by pathogens. Fish‐derived …

A new method for regionalization of the vertebral column in salmonids based on radiographic hallmarks
Current procedures to establish vertebral column regionalization (eg, histology) in fish are
time consuming and difficult to apply. The aim of this study was to develop a more rapid and …

Parasites and host species barriers in animal hybrid zones
Species barriers are tested in hybrid zones when gene flow occurs between hybridizing
species. Hybridization can erode species barriers, lead to the introgression of adaptive traits …

Vertebral deformities in interspecific diploid and triploid salmonid hybrids
TWK Fraser, TJ Hansen, F Sambraus… - Journal of Fish …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Vertebral deformities in salmonid interspecific hybrids, some of which were triploidised, were
assessed across three separate year classes during the freshwater life stage. Initially, eggs …

Ploidy elicits a whole-genome dosage effect: growth of triploid Atlantic salmon is linked to the genetic origin of the second maternal chromosome set
Abstract Background The Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry is investigating the feasibility
of using sterile triploids to mitigate genetic interactions with wild conspecifics, however …
