Book Atlantic Salmon  Salmo Salar

Download or read book Atlantic Salmon Salmo Salar written by Florence T. Wright and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American stocks of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have been declining. One measure being employed to reverse that trend is increased hatchery production. As with husbandry of other animals, intensive rearing is usually associated with higher than normal health risks. Research on diseases of Atlantic salmon can help prevent, reduce, or otherwise control mortality due to problem parasites, infections, and other diseases. For planning of research as well as for diagnostic work, health management, and husbandry, published information on diseases of the Atlantic salmon must be readily available. Inasmuch as the literature is widely scattered, the purpose of this work is to compile a bibliography from international sources on the diseases (detection, diagnosis, identification, and control) of Atlantic salmon. Most of the references are arranged alphabetically by author, either have been annotated by the staff of the Eastern Fish Disease Laboratory, or are abstracts by the author.

Book Molecular Basis of Antiviral Immune Responses in Teleost Fish

Download or read book Molecular Basis of Antiviral Immune Responses in Teleost Fish written by Khalil Eslamloo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to the importance of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) for fisheries or aquaculture of several countries including Canada, these species are valuable for comparative immunological studies. The Atlantic cod possesses a unique immune system among many teleosts, and the Atlantic salmon may serve as a molecular model for genomics studies in salmonids. Several aspects of the immune response in these species are yet to be determined, and a broader picture of the immune responses of Atlantic cod and Atlantic salmon may enhance the health management of wild or farmed populations of these species. With respect to the importance of macrophages in innate immune responses, the objectives of my thesis were to use a macrophage model and genomics approaches to enhance our understanding of the antiviral immune response of Atlantic cod, and to profile the transcriptome of the dietary fatty acid-dependent and antiviral responses of Atlantic salmon. In Chapter 2, I used microarray and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analyses to identify and validate several antiviral biomarker genes encoding receptors, signal transducers, transcription factors and immune effectors in Atlantic cod macrophages. This study revealed that the antiviral immune responses of Atlantic cod macrophages may be activated downstream of RIG-I-like receptor (RLR)- and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-dependent pathways. Chapter 3 fully characterised Atlantic cod viperin, one of the putative interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) identified in Chapter 2. I found Atlantic cod viperin to be an evolutionarily conserved gene with an antiviral response that is regulated through endosomal-TLRs-, protein kinase R (PKR), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)- and interferon (IFN)-mediated pathways. Using deep sequencing and gene expression analysis, Chapter 4 profiled the immune-related microRNAs (miRNAs) of Atlantic cod macrophages, and discovered both evolutionarily-conserved and teleost-specific miRNAs playing roles in the antiviral immune response of macrophages of this species. Concerning the immune-related functions of omega (n)-3 and n-6 fatty acids, Chapter 5 used an ex vivo model to evaluate if varying levels of dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids influence the antiviral responses of Atlantic salmon macrophage-like cells (MLCs). Chapter 5 showed that different levels of dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids change the fatty acid composition of head kidney leukocytes, and it identified fatty acid-dependent immune-related biomarkers in Atlantic salmon MLCs. Moreover, this chapter identified a large number of biomarker transcripts activated by RLR, TLR, MAPK and IFN pathways during the antiviral response of Atlantic salmon MLCs. This thesis contributed significantly to the development of a comprehensive picture of the genes, non-coding RNAs and regulating pathways involved in antiviral immune responses of teleosts. In addition, my thesis enhances the general understanding of the immunomodulatory functions of dietary n-3 fatty acids in Atlantic salmon. The novel results generated by this thesis contribute molecular biomarkers that may be used in future immunological studies to aid in the development of aquafeeds and other health management tools for teleosts.

Book Immune Response of Carp  Cyprinus Carpio and Atlantic Salmon  Salmo Salar to Piscirickettsia Salmonis

Download or read book Immune Response of Carp Cyprinus Carpio and Atlantic Salmon Salmo Salar to Piscirickettsia Salmonis written by Crystal Margaret Trevors and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piscirickettsia salmonis, the causative agent of Salmonid rickettsial septicaemia (SRS) is an economically important disease of sea-pen reared salmonids in southern Chile. It is a newly described organism whose immunogenicity in salmonids is poorly understood. To compare the susceptibility of common carp (Cyprinus carpio), goldfish (Carassius auratus) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to P. salmonis, groups of 25 fish weighing approximately 10 g each were challenged with 0.1 ml of 10$\sp{5-6}$ TCID$\sb{50}$/ml. Death among salmonid fish occurred approximately one week post injection, whereas disease did not occur among inoculated carp and goldfish. To follow the progression of P. salmonis in carp and Atlantic salmon, a separate challenge was performed and spleen, liver and kidney tissue samples were collected 1, 3, 6, 11, 15 and 30 days post injection (d.p.i.) and tested for P. salmonis antigen using an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA). The diversity of antibodies produced in Atlantic salmon, common carp and rabbits following immunization with killed P. salmonis was examined by immuno-staining of western blots. Phagocytosis and superoxide anion production were examined in macrophages isolated from the head kidney of carp and Atlantic salmon after incubation with either live or killed P. salmonis.

Book Atlantic Cod  Gadus Morhua  and Atlantic Salmon  Salmo Salar  Immune Responses Against Aeromonas Salmonicida Subsp  Salmonicida Infection

Download or read book Atlantic Cod Gadus Morhua and Atlantic Salmon Salmo Salar Immune Responses Against Aeromonas Salmonicida Subsp Salmonicida Infection written by Manuel A. Soto Dávila and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlantic cod and Atlantic salmon are among the main species of the Canadian fisheries and aquaculture industries. Populations of both fish species are exposed to different pathogens such as bacteria that cause infectious diseases. Vibrio anguillarum, Francisella noatunensis, Renibacterium salmoninarum, and Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida are the most frequent bacteria that infect Atlantic cod and Atlantic salmon. Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, is one of the oldest known fish pathogens and the causative agent of furunculosis in marine and freshwater fish. This Gram-negative pathogen is having a negative impact on fish health, especially in emergent marine aquaculture in Canada. A. salmonicida is also an excellent bacterial model to study fish host-pathogen interactions and assist with analyzing compounds that can be useful to stimulate the immunity of the fish. Here, I evaluate the effect of A. salmonicida on the innate immune response of Atlantic cod and Atlantic salmon primary macrophages utilizing microbiological and molecular biology tools. Additionally, I determine the effect of vitamin D2 and D3 as potential immunostimulants against the bacterial infection caused by A. salmonicida in Atlantic salmon.
