Dietary Exposure to Environmentally Relevant Levels of Chemical Contaminants Reduces Growth and Survival in Juvenile Chinook Salmon.

Chemical pollution can degrade aquatic ecosystems. Chinook salmon in contaminated habitats are vulnerable to health impacts from toxic exposures. Few studies have been conducted on adverse health outcomes associated with current levels and mixtures of contaminants.

Production of a monoclonal antibody specific to sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) IgM and its application in ELISA, western blotting, and immunofluorescent staining.

Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) are an emerging aquaculture species native to the continental shelf of the northern Pacific Ocean. There is limited information on both innate and adaptive immunity for this species and new tools are needed to determine antibody response following vaccination or disease outbreaks. In this paper, a monoclonal antibody, UI-25A, specific to sablefish IgM was produced in mice.
