Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlantic Salmon is a cultural icon throughout its North Atlantic range; it is the focus of probably the World’s highest profile recreational fishery and is the basis for one of the World’s largest aquaculture industries. Despite this, many wild stocks of salmon are in decline and underpinning this is a dearth of information on the nature and extent of population structuring and adaptive population differentiation, and its implications for species conservation. This important new book will go a long way to rectify this situation by providing a thorough review of the genetics of Atlantic salmon. Sponsored by the European Union and the Atlantic Salmon Trust, this book comprises the work of an international team of scientists, carefully integrated and edited to provide a landmark book of vital interest to all those working with Atlantic salmon.

Book excerpt: Fish have the same stress response and powers of nociception as mammals. Their behavioural responses to a variety of situations suggest a considerable ability for higher level neural processing – a level of consciousness equivalent perhaps to that attributed to mammals. Each chapter of this book has been written by specialists in their field. The subject matter is wide ranging and covers in detail concepts of animal welfare in addition to more specific aspects of fish welfare. Philosophical concepts of welfare are discussed along with more practical areas of fish welfare encompassing all husbandry and management activities that have a potential to affect the welfare of the fish in our care. This book is an essential purchase for fish veterinarians, fish farmers, fish biologists and those involved in the aquaculture industry and its regulation.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-harvest sexual maturation in farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, remains a key biological bottleneck compromising biomass and financial output, production predictability, environmental respect, stock welfare and the overall sustainability of the on-growing industry. The management practices currently in place are not optimized and events of high maturation rate are still sporadically observed. From an ecological perspective, the escape of reproductively competent, domesticated Atlantic salmon constitutes a threat to the integrity of wild stocks. The forecasted expansion of the Scottish salmon industry compels the need for a comprehensive and more reliable control of sexual maturation. The general aim of this research project was to optimize the current management strategy (windows of light-manipulation and quality grading) and test alternative practices (lighting-technologies, selective harvest and triploidization) in the control of pre-harvest sexual maturation within the Atlantic salmon on-growing industry. In that end, a number of trials were performed using stock reared in sea-cages on a full commercial-scale or in tanks on an experimental scale. The results of this project are organized around three experimental chapters dealing consecutively with body-size dimorphism, grading and harvest quality; light manipulations and triploidy. In each chapter, two original manuscripts either published or in review are included. In addition to these experimental results, a literature review chapter composed of two review papers on the photoperiodic synchronization and developmental regulation of maturation in salmonids and on morphological skin colour changes in teleosts (published) are presented. In the first experimental chapters, we aimed at investigating the possibility of detecting and selectively harvesting a high proportion of sexually recruited fish before flesh quality deterioration. Results clearly showed that body-size dimorphisms between maturity cohorts at the end of the anabolic window of reproduction (June/July) are strong and standard predictors of maturation among related populations with the same freshwater history. Dimorphism can therefore be modelled to easily and accurately estimate maturation rate in a number of discrete rearing-units. If required, a high proportion of sexually recruited fish can be selectively harvested as superior quality product while leaving the immature fish for further on-growing. This provides an alternative to visual grilse grading that is not feasible in large-scale aquaculture systems, prevents downgrading and increases production predictability as compared to emergency harvests. Furthermore, our results showed immature males grow faster than immature females which should be further investigated to fully determine gender specific performances and nutritional requirements. Weight-grading performed earlier in the cycle affects the sex-ratio within individual pens and in turn apparent performance. This work also revealed that Atlantic salmon can exhibit significant variations in skin colouration resembling the onset of nuptial display but that are not related to sexual recruitment and do not correlate with reduced flesh quality. This originates from a lack of purine (silver) pigments which was also identified, to a larger extent, as characteristic of the nuptial display. This suggests a degree of desmoltification in these histologically immature fish. The instrumental colouration of the altered phenotype was shown to be improved towards a more silver-like appearance by direct ice-contact. This knowledge could facilitate post-harvest quality grading towards the most appropriate market channel and increase product acceptance and attractiveness. The second experimental chapter investigated the possibility of improving photoperiodic manipulation used to suppress early maturation, currently applied for 6-months during the second winter at sea using wide-spectrum, high-intensity lighting systems. Our results showed that the window of continuous artificial-light (LL) exposure can be reduced to 4-months following its onset in early January without compromising its efficiency in suppressing pre-harvest maturation. In addition, alternative lighting technologies were also highly potent at suppressing sexual maturation. The mean-irradiance (intensity) generated within a commercial sea-cage was inversely proportional to the suppression of nocturnal plasma melatonin (light perception hormone) and negatively correlates with the maturation rate within the commercial sea-pen. Threshold levels of light-intensity required to achieve optimal (total) suppression of sexual maturation are suggested. Alternative, narrow band-width lighting-technologies (cold cathode and light-emitting diodes) present an array of technical, practical, economic and welfare benefits comparing to the system currently in use. Clear improvements of the photoperiod-manipulation strategy were demonstrated and these would reduce economic and environmental costs but also potential impacts on animal welfare. The third experimental chapter showed the strong potential of sterile-triploid Atlantic salmon stocks both in freshwater and seawater. Triploid out-of-season smolts were produced for the first time using a classical accelerated "square-wave" photoperiod. Triploidization affected the smoltification pattern but had no detrimental effects on freshwater and early seawater performances under both a S0+ and S1 regime. This illustrates the need to adapt the timing of seawater transfer for successfully producing triploid Atlantic salmon post-smolts. Following one year of seawater rearing, the prevalence of external deformities was higher in triploids but remained within acceptable levels. Importantly, the incidence of vertebral deformities and ocular cataract was higher in triploids possibly due to their specific requirements. It is suggested that tailoring the diet to the nutritional requirements of triploids holds strong potential for remediation. This must be addressed if the use of sterile-triploid stock is to become a commercial reality. The present research project provides means to optimize the maturation management strategy within the Atlantic salmon on-growing industry through light-manipulation, maturation detection and selective harvest, and quality grading. Proposed improvements have the potential to increase biomass and financial output, production predictability, environmental respect and animal welfare and will allow standardization of the overall control of pre-harvest sexual maturation. Their implementation provides a comprehensive strategy likely to favour a sustainable expansion of the Atlantic salmon industry. From a longer term perspective, the rearing of sterile-triploid stocks is promising and should be actively investigated to isolate domesticated strains from their wild conspecifics. This would also eliminate the need for on-growers to deploy a maturation management strategy that that might still affect stock welfare and remains, despite the strong improvements demonstrated, not 100% reliable, costly, technical and protracted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded Bookauthority's "Best Aquaculture Books of all Time" A comprehensive resource that covers all the aspects of sex control in aquaculture written by internationally-acclaimed scientists Comprehensive in scope, Sex Control in Aquaculture first explains the concepts and rationale for sex control in aquaculture, which serves different purposes. The most important are: to produce monosex stocks to rear only the fastest-growing sex in some species, to prevent precocious or uncontrolled reproduction in other species and to aid in broodstock management. The application of sex ratio manipulation for population control and invasive species management is also included. Next, this book provides detailed and updated information on the underlying genetic, epigenetic, endocrine and environmental mechanisms responsible for the establishment of the sexes, and explains chromosome set manipulation techniques, hybridization and the latest gene knockout approaches. Furthermore, the book offers detailed protocols and key summarizing information on how sex control is practiced worldwide in 35 major aquaculture species or groups, including fish and crustaceans, and puts the focus on its application in the aquaculture industry. With contributions from an international panel of leading scientists, Sex Control in Aquaculture will appeal to a large audience: aquaculture/fisheries professionals and students, scientists or biologists working with basic aspects of fish/shrimp biology, growth and reproductive endocrinology, genetics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and R&D managers and administrators. This text explores sex control technologies and monosex production of commercially-farmed fish and crustacean species that are highly in demand for aquaculture, to improve feed utilization efficiency, reduce energy consumption for reproduction and eliminate a series of problems caused by mixed sex rearing. Thus, this book: Contains contributions from an international panel of leading scientists and professionals in the field Provides comprehensive coverage of both established and new technologies to control sex ratios that are becoming more necessary to increase productivity in aquaculture Includes detailed coverage of the most effective sex control techniques used in the world's most important commercially-farmed species Sex Control in Aquaculture is the comprehensive resource for understanding the biological rationale, scientific principles and real-world practices in this exciting and expanding field.
