Populations of the marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) have declined critically due to introgression by brown trout (Salmo trutta) strains. In order to define strategies for long-term conservation, we examined the genetic structure of the 8 known pure populations using 15 microsatellite loci. The analyses reveal extraordinarily strong genetic differentiation among populations separated by < 15 km, ...

In the years 1999-2002, first studies were carried out on the metazoan parasites of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) recently reintroduced into the Elbe River drainage system, after more than 50 years after the complete extinction of the Elbe salmon population. A total of six helminth species were recorded from salmon smolts from three streams of the Elbe River basin (Kamenice River, Jestedský ...

  There is no available adequate information on the biology and genetics of the Caspian salmon (salmo truta Caspiu) living in the Caspian Sea with other species such as common carp families, sturgeons and etc., therefore we are interested in knowing whether selection for rapid growth rate in salmo trutta Caspius will potentially lead to correlated genetic response in body weight and length. The...

The bacterium Pseudomonas angui1liseptica Wakabayashi & Egusa, originally described as a pathogen of eel in Japan, was isolated from diseased Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, sea trout Salmo trutta, rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri, and whitefish Coregonus sp. in Finland. Biochemical tests showed that the Finnish isolates are similar to the Japanese strains except for the Tween 80 reaction. Serologica...

During the 1st quarter of 2019, northern and middle parts Iraq received a huge amount rain due to harsh storm. The Iraqi cities affected are those located on tributaries river Tigris. heavy also western region Iran adjacent Iraq. resultant flood wind seemed have destroyed aquaculture facilities in caused an escape fish different age groups. This study reports presence one specimen Salmo caspius...

in this study, three different age groups of male broodstocks (4, 5 and 6 years respectively) were used to fertilize eggs obtained from nine females. the results showed that 6 year old males had maximum body weight (1766 g), total length (56.3 cm) and sperm volume (31.83 ml). results did not show significant difference in spermatocrit and spermatozoa concentration among age groups (p>0.05). our...

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...
