In the protected area of the Cévennes National Park (Southern France), 114 wild brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) were captured at six locations affected to different extents by historical mining and metallurgy dating from the Iron Age to Modern Times. Cadmium and lead in trout livers and muscles reflect high sediment contamination, although an age-related effect was also detected for hepatic me...

Managing brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) populations is of high concerns for many stakeholders (e.g. angling associations or hydropower companies). However, building trout life cycle models remains challenging. Here, we describe a general hierarchical Bayesian model of brown trout population dynamics that combines global (e.g. an average value of age-class annual survival) and local parameters...

The present study was designed to enlist the physiochemical and functional properties of very low-density lipoprotein receptor Salmo trutta fario (brown trout), provide information about its three-dimensional structure interaction with partner molecules using standard bioinformatic tools. VLDL is a large flexible protein molecular weight around 95.9 kDa, relatively unstable, hydrophobic primary...
