Genetic polymorphism of inorganic pyrophosphatase was investigated in 2799 individuals in four species of Pacific salmon: chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), kokanee (O. nerka), and steelhead (O. mykiss), using horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. This enzyme system appears to be an isolocus system with electrophoretically indistinguishable allozymes encoded by two loci (PP-1,2*) expressed in retinal tissue. Mendelian inheritance was observed with a breeding study in three family crosses. Population variability in four species was characterized in 44 populations from the U.S. Pacific coast. Three alleles were found in chinook salmon; two alleles each were found in coho salmon, kokanee, and steelhead. Chinook salmon and kokanee populations differed enough with respect to PP-1,2* frequencies that this isolocus is useful for genetic stock identification in these species.

It's a good thing that severely hypoxic salmon (Salmo salar) have a limited capacity to increase heart rate when warmed.

With climate change, fish are facing rising temperatures, an increase in the frequency and severity of heat waves and hypoxia, sometimes concurrently. However, only limited studies have examined the combined effects of increases in temperature and hypoxia on fish physiology and survival. We measured the cardiorespiratory physiology of 12°C-acclimated Atlantic salmon when exposed acutely to normoxia [100% air saturation (sat.

Surface water in rivers is vital for human society. However, our current understanding of the dynamics and drivers of river flows relies predominantly on stream gauging data, which are limited in spatial coverage and involve significant costs. Remote sensing techniques have emerged as complementary tools for monitoring river discharge, but these satellite-based methods often require complex data processing.
