There is a limited understanding of the pathogenesis of tenacibaculosis in Atlantic salmon ( L.) and there are few reproducible exposure models for comparison. Atlantic salmon were exposed via bath to , , or and were then grouped with naïve cohabitants. Mortalities had exaggerated clinical signs of mouthrot, a presentation of tenacibaculosis characterized by epidermal ulceration and yellow plaques, on the mouth and less frequently on other tissues. Histopathology showed tissue spongiosis, erosion, ulceration, and necrosis ranging from mild to marked, locally to regionally extensive with mats of intralesional bacteria on the rostrum, vomer, gill rakers, gill filaments, and body surface. Exposure to resulted in less than a 0.4 probability of survival for both exposed and cohabitants until Day 21. Exposures to resulted in 0 and 0.55 (exposed), and 0.8 and 0.9 (cohabitant) probability of survival to Day 12 post-exposure, while had a 0.9 probability of survival to Day 12 for all groups. This experimental infection model will be useful to further investigate the pathogenesis of tenacibaculosis, its treatment, and immunity to species.

Aquaculture is one of the world's fastest-growing sectors in food production but with multiple challenges related to animal handling and infections. The disease caused by infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) leads to outbreaks of local epidemics, reducing animal welfare, and causing significant economic losses. The composition of feed has shifted from marine ingredients such as fish oil and fish meal towards a more plant-based diet causing reduced levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

Salmonid rickettsial septicemia (SRS) is a critical sanitary problem in the Chilean aquaculture industry since it induces the highest mortality rate in salmonids among all infectious diseases. , a facultative intracellular bacterium, is the biological agent of SRS. In Chile, two genogroups of , designated as LF-89 and EM-90, have been identified.

In many eukaryotes, meiotic recombination occurs preferentially at discrete sites, called recombination hotspots. In various lineages, recombination hotspots are located in regions with promoter-like features and are evolutionarily stable. Conversely, in some mammals, hotspots are driven by PRDM9 that targets recombination away from promoters.

Non-classical MHC class I genes which, compared to classical MHC class I, are typically less polymorphic and have more restricted expression patterns are attracting interest because of their potential to regulate immune responses to various pathogens. In salmonids, among the numerous non-classical MHC class I genes identified to date, L lineage genes, including Sasa- and , are differentially induced in response to microbial challenges. In the present study, we show that while transcription of both and are induced in response to SAV3 infection the transcriptional induction patterns are distinct for each gene.

Two short-term feeding trials were conducted on , with the interaction between dietary zinc (Zn) and fat level in trial 1 and with the interaction between dietary Zn and n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) in trial 2, focusing on postprandial plasma parameters, intestinal Zn and fat uptake and transport. After 4-week feeding interventions, samples were collected at different postprandial time points, ranging from 0 to 36/38 h after feeding. Results showed that increased Zn level in feed significantly increased the postprandial plasma Zn level in trial 1 (8-9°C).
