Single unit discrimination of fish odours released by char (Salmo alpinus L.) populations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
l. Dilute fish odours from four distinct char populations elicited differential responses from char olfactory bulb cells. 2. Differential sensory responses produced by odours from migratory and non-migratory populations of char suggest that fish odours could act as pheromones which help guide homing in these salmonids. 3. Skin mucous may well be the principal source of odorants released by the char.

Density-dependent interactions in an Arctic char – brown trout system: competition, predation, or both?
In the study of mechanisms structuring fish communities, mixed competition–predation interactions where large predators feed on prey fish versus those in which small predators compete with prey fish for a shared prey have been the focus of substantial research. We used a long-term data set from a system inhabited by brown trout (Salmo trutta) (predator) and Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) (pre...
متن کاملHost specificity and geographical distribution of Eubothrium in European salmonid fish.
The host specificity and distribution of Eubothrium crassum (Bloch, 1779) and Eubothrium salvelini (Schrank, 1790), morphologically fairly similar pseudophyllidean tapeworms parasitizing salmonid fish, were critically assessed on the basis of morphological and genetic evaluation of extensive material collected from different definitive hosts and geographical regions in Europe. Eubothrium crassu...
متن کاملWarm acclimation and oxygen depletion induce species-specific responses in salmonids.
Anthropogenic activities are greatly altering the habitats of animals, whereby fish are already encountering several stressors simultaneously. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the capacity of fish to respond to two different environmental stressors (high temperature and overnight hypoxia) separately and together. We found that acclimation to increased temperature (from 7.7±0....
متن کاملA linkage map for brown trout (Salmo trutta): chromosome homeologies and comparative genome organization with other salmonid fish.
We report on the construction of a linkage map for brown trout (Salmo trutta) and its comparison with those of other tetraploid-derivative fish in the family Salmonidae, including Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus). Overall, we identified 37 linkage groups (2n = 80) from the analysis of 288 microsatellite polymorphisms, 13 al...
متن کاملTemperature requirements of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, brown trout Salmo trutta and Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus: predicting the effects of climate change.
Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, brown trout Salmo trutta (including the anadromous form, sea trout) and Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (including anadromous fish) provide important commercial and sports fisheries in Western Europe. As water temperature increases as a result of climate change, quantitative information on the thermal requirements of these three species is essential so that potentia...
