Diphyllobothrium Plerocercoid Infestation in Landlocked Salmon

The Origin of the Landlocked Habit in Salmon.

Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense Tapeworm Larvae in Salmon from North America

Diphyllobothriosis is reemerging because of global importation and increased popularity of eating raw fish. We detected Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense plerocercoids in the musculature of wild pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) from Alaska, USA. Therefore, salmon from the American and Asian Pacific coasts and elsewhere pose potential dangers for persons who eat these fish raw.

Endocrine systems in juvenile anadromous and landlocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): seasonal development and seawater acclimation.

The present study compares developmental changes in plasma levels of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and cortisol, and mRNA levels of their receptors and the prolactin receptor (PRLR) in the gill of anadromous and landlocked Atlantic salmon during the spring parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) period and following four days and one month seawater (SW) acclimatio...

Toxicokinetics of waterborne bisphenol A in landlocked salmon (Salmo salar m. sebago) eggs at various temperatures.

Eye-pigmented eggs of landlocked salmon were exposed to waterborne [14C]-labeled bisphenol A at four temperatures (2, 6, 8, and 12 degrees C). Both in accumulation and depuration experiments, the eggs were exposed to a bisphenol A concentration of 1 microg/L for 196 h. In the depuration experiment, the exposed eggs were placed into clean water for 96 h. At each sampling time, the eggs were diss...

Gene diversity analysis of mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites and allozymes in landlocked Atlantic salmon

This study investigates the patterns of genetic diversity detected in allozymes, mtDNA, and microsatellites, in order to assess their relative efficacy to differentiate sympatric landlocked salmon populations and to estimate changes in genetic diversity between wild and firstgeneration hatchery fish. Overall, the three genetic markers indicated a genetic differentiation between two sympatric po...
