The battle against the introduced pathogenic monogenean Gyrodactylus salaris in Norwegian Atlantic salmon rivers and fish farmsNARA Subscribed
The introduced salmonid ectoparasite Gyrodactylus salaris has been detected on Atlantic salmon in 53 Norwegian rivers and in 39 Norwegian fish farms. In affected rivers, the mortality of Atlantic salmon juveniles is very high, estimated to a mean of 86%. G. salaris has been considered one of the biggest threats to wild Norwegian Atlantic salmon stocks. With various measures, the authorities have reduced the potential for furth...
Gyrodactylus spp. (Monogenea) were found on 16.9% (233 out of 1376) Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), sampled from September 2010 to October 2011 in the Fustvatnet lake, Northern Norway. Two species were identified: G. salaris Malmberg, 1957, and G. salmonis Yin & Sproston, 1948. Gyrodactylus salaris was only found on Arctic char larger than 28 cm and only in samples obtained in the autumn (September and October). Gyrodact...
Patterns of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae infection of three salmonid species in large, deep Norwegian lakesNARA Subscribed
Proliferative kidney disease (PKD), caused by the myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae , is of serious ecological and economical concern to wild and farmed salmonids. Wild salmonid populations have declined due to PKD, primarily in rivers, in Europe and North America. Deep lakes are also important habitats for salmonids, and this work aimed to investigate parasite presence in five deep Norwegian lakes. Kidney sa...
Ninety wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., (1.5–10.3 kg) were caught in the Namsen Fjord near the mouth of River Namsen, mid‐Norway, and examined for the presence and distribution of Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809 det. Krabbe, 1878) larvae by digestion of the viscera and muscles in a pepsin/HCl solution. All salmon were migrating spawners after 1–4 years of feeding in the Atlantic Ocean. All 90 Atlantic salmon had A. simpl...
Understanding how populations are structured in space and time is a central question in evolutionary biology. Parasites and their hosts are assumed to evolve together, however, detailed understanding of mechanisms leading to genetic structuring of parasites and their hosts are lacking. As a parasite depends on its host, studying the genetic structure of both parasite and host can reveal important insights into these mechanisms...
