Seasonal neuroendocrine cycles that govern annual changes in reproductive activity,
energy metabolism and hair growth are almost ubiquitous in mammals that have evolved at …

In most teleosts, metamorphosis encompasses a dramatic post-natal developmental process
where the free-swimming larvae undergo a series of morphological, cellular and …

Atlantic salmon undergo dramatic physiological changes as they migrate from freshwater to
the marine environment. Osmoregulatory adaptation is the most crucial change …

Seasonal breeding is a remarkable adaptive feature, which allows animals to coordinate
physiological functions throughout the year. However, in the context of animal production, it …

We describe an emerging initiative-the 'Functional Annotation of All Salmonid
Genomes'(FAASG), which will leverage the extensive trait diversity that has evolved since a …

Anadromous salmonids begin life adapted to the freshwater environments of their natal
streams before a developmental transition, known as smoltification, transforms them into …

Larval recruitment, the transition of pelagic larvae into reef-associated juveniles, is a critical
step for the resilience of marine fish populations but its molecular control is unknown. Here …

Seasonal timing is important for many critical life history events of vertebrates, and
photoperiod is often used as a reliable seasonal cue. In mammals and birds, it has been …

The present study investigated whether there is a critical length of photoperiod needed to
stimulate a completed parr–smolt transformation (PST) in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. In two …

Projected water temperature increases based on predicted climate change scenarios and
concomitant pesticide exposure raises concern about the responses of aquatic organisms …
