The character and extent of population differentiation in chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta from Sakhalin and Iturup were comparatively studied with 10 microsatellite and 12 allozyme markers. It was demonstrated with the example of allozyme polymorphism at the EstD locus that the effect of an individual locus with one major allele is capable of distorting the total picture of population differentiation. Multiallelic microsatellites were more efficient in revealing the genetic structure of chum salmon populations at the levels of differences between regional populations and between the stocks of individual rivers of the same region.

The physiological performance of ectotherms is influenced by temperature, raising concerns about the impact of global warming on ectotherms. Understanding the relationship between ecologically relevant temperatures and the physiological performance of ectotherms provides a basis for assessing their resilience to changing environments. Absolute aerobic scope (AAS) is a functional metric of the thermal performance of aquatic ectotherms.

Background: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light promotes reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and metalloproteinase (MMP) 1 expression, leading to skin damage. Several studies have reported that protein-rich fish byproducts from enzymatic hydrolysis exhibited a variety of health benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammation. In the current study, we investigated the protective effect of protein hydrolysate from salmon byproduct (SBPH) in ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and zebrafish.

Interspecific competition can significantly impact marine ecosystems by affecting species distributions and abundances. Understanding how sympatric species utilize available food helps identify potential competition and its effects when resources are limited. Here, we applied a suite of analytical methods (diet analysis, stable isotopes, and biomass estimates) to identify potential competitive interactions among North Pacific pelagic predators.

Article Synopsis
  • * The infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was isolated from some fish, but also, bacteria causing typical bacterial kidney disease (BKD) were identified using DNA sequencing and specific culture methods.
  • * Histopathological studies showed severe kidney damage, indicating that the mass mortality was linked to the bacterial infection rather than IPNV, marking the first BKD outbreak associated with this bacteria in farmed chum salmon in South Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • Parvalbumins are the main food allergens found in fish meat, with each species having its own unique set of these proteins.
  • Allergen codes are assigned based on sequence similarities to the first identified parvalbumin in that species, leading to potential confusion among similar codes across different fish.
  • This study aims to simplify the complex genetics of parvalbumins in fish, focusing on gene analysis in common allergenic species like red seabream and chum salmon, while providing a clear naming system for these genes.
