The lethal and sublethal impacts of two tire rubber-derived chemicals on brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) fry and fingerlings.

Recent toxicity studies of stormwater runoff implicated N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-quinone) as the contaminant responsible for the mass mortality of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). In the wake of this discovery, 6PPD-quinone has been measured in waterways around urban centers, along with other tire wear leachates like hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM). The limited data available for 6PPD-quinone have shown toxicity can vary depending on the species.

Tissue-specific compensatory mechanisms maintain tissue architecture and body size independent of cell size in polyploid zebrafish.

Genome duplications and ploidy transitions have occurred in nearly every major taxon of eukaryotes, but they are far more common in plants than in animals. Due to the conservation of the nuclear:cytoplasmic volume ratio increased DNA content results in larger cells. In plants, polyploid organisms are larger than diploids as cell number remains relatively constant.

RNA-Seq Analysis of the Growth Hormone Transgenic Female Triploid Atlantic Salmon () Hepatic Transcriptome Reveals Broad Temperature-Mediated Effects on Metabolism and Other Biological Processes.

This study examined the impact of rearing temperature (10.5, 13.5 or 16.
