Pathological Changes in Kidneys of Intensively Bred Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill, 1815)

Usefulness of heterologous microsatellites obtained from brook charr, Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill, in other Salvelinus species.

Exercise training in skeletal muscle of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis).

1. The differentiation of myotomal muscles in the brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill) has been investigated using p-phenylene diamine stained semi-thin sections and cytochemical and quantitative determinations of enzyme activities. 2. Evidence is presented that the range of fibre size in white muscle represents stages in growth rather than distinct fibre types. 3. Electromyography show...

The rise and fall of isolation by distance in the anadromous brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill).

Geographic patterns of genetic diversity depend on a species' demographic properties in a given habitat, which may change over time. The rates at which patterns of diversity respond to changes in demographic properties and approach equilibrium are therefore pivotal in our understanding of spatial patterns of diversity. The brook charr Salvelinus fontinalis is a coastal fish exhibiting limited m...

Have brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) displaced bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) along longitudinal gradients in central Idaho streams?

Invasions of non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) have the potential for upstream displacement or elimination of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) and other native species already threatened by habitat loss. We summarized the distribution and number of bull trout in samples from 12 streams with and without brook trout in central Idaho and used hierarchical regression analysis to con...

Effect of Duo-Culture on Growth Performance of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill, 1814) and Black Sea Trout (Salmo trutta labrax Pallas, 1811) in Tank Reared Condition

The objectives of the present study were to compare growth performance and feed conversion ratios of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Black Sea trout (Salmo trutta labrax) in monoculture and duo-culture tank reared conditions. The fish were about 9-month-old hatchery reared brook trout and Black Sea trout with initial weights of 24.18±0.64 (n=60) and 23.87±1.11 (n=60) g, respectively. Fi...
