Snake bite was known as one of the most important public health concerns world wild. Respiratory and cardiac problems and destruction of endothelium system occurs as a result of snake bite. Some proteins and peptides in snake venom have potential for drug discovery studies. According to the important role of cell adhesion and angiogenesis in cancer development, identification of new therapeutic...

The effect of salmon plasma (SP) from Chinook salmon on proteolytic inhibition was investigated. SP was found to inhibit both cysteine and serine proteases as well as protease extracted from Pacific whiting muscle. SP was found to contain a 55kDa cysteine protease inhibitor through SDS-PAGE inhibitor staining. Freeze dried salmon plasma (FSP) and salmon plasma concentrated by ultrafiltration (C...

Aqua Bounty Technologies, Inc. has recently applied for deregulation of their AquAdvantage salmon—salmon that have been genetically engineered to grow faster than wild-type salmon. The salmon have the potential benefit of providing high-quality animal protein without putting additional pressure on declining wild fish stocks. However, these salmon present some potential risks that warrant examin...

in the present study, the effects of chlorella vulgaris on blood and immunological parameters of caspian salmon (salmo trutta caspius) before and after exposure to viral nervous necrosis (vnn) virus were examined. in this regard, four treatments in triplicate were chosen. groups included one control and 3treatments (t1, t2 and t3).  fish in control group, t1, t2 and t3 were fed diets supplement...

The U.S. FDA is currently reviewing AquaBounty Technologies’ New Animal Drug Application for a fast growing transgenic Atlantic salmon, known as AquAdvantage Salmon, which would be the first genetically modified food animal approved for human consumption. AquAdvantage Salmon was developed by inserting into a fertilized Atlantic salmon egg, a transgene constructed from the growth hormone gene of...

The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837)) is a parasitic copepod that can, if untreated, cause considerable damage to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) and incurs significant costs to the Atlantic salmon mariculture industry. Salmon lice are gonochoristic and normally show sex ratios close to 1:1. While this observation suggests that sex determination in salmon lice i...

Despite the importance of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) for homing migration, the expression of olfactory marker protein (OMP) is not well understood in ORNs of Pacific salmon (genus Oncorhynchus). In this study, salmon OMP was characterized in the olfactory epithelia of lacustrine sockeye salmon (O. nerka) by molecular biological and histochemical techniques. Two cDNAs encoding salmon OMP ...

Chum salmon are the second most abundant salmon in the North Pacific Ocean. In the 1930s, chum salmon were abundant along the Russian coast and in British Columbia. The total catch of chum salmon was small from the late 1940s into the 1970s but increased in the 1980s, reaching historically high levels from the 1990s to the present. Ocean distribution of chum salmon is affected by sea surface te...

Sushi, a very popular food worldwide became a popular ready-to-eat food selling in supermarkets, but it exhibit distinct features, which are associated with microbiological hazards. Therefore, MAP technology, known to reduce aerobic bacteria in fishery products, was used to improve quality of ready-to-eat salmon sushi in this study. Salmon sushi were packaged with air (control), 50%N2 /50%CO2 (...

Establishing n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid contents in canned wild Alaska pink salmon products is challenging due to ample natural variation found in lipid content of pink salmon muscle. This study investigated the effect of adding salmon oil (SO) to canned pink salmon produced from fish exhibiting two opposite degrees of skin watermarking, bright (B) and dark (D). Specific goals of the study ...
