The thermally dynamic nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, is experiencing climate change-driven temperature increases. Measuring thermal tolerance of broad whitefish () and saffron cod (), both important species in the Arctic ecosystem, will enhance understanding of species-specific thermal tolerances. The objectives of this study were to determine the extent that acclimating broad whitefish and saffron cod to 5°C and 15°C changed their critical thermal maximum (CT) and HSP70 protein and mRNA expression in brain, muscle and liver tissues. After acclimation to 5°C and 15°C, the species were exposed to a thermal ramping rate of 3.4°C · h before quantifying the CT and HSP70 protein and transcript concentrations. Broad whitefish and saffron cod acclimated to 15°C had a significantly higher mean CT (27.3°C and 25.9°C, respectively) than 5°C-acclimated fish (23.7°C and 23.2°C, respectively), which is consistent with trends in CT between higher and lower acclimation temperatures. There were species-specific differences in thermal tolerance with 15°C-acclimated broad whitefish having higher CT and HSP70 protein concentrations in liver and muscle tissues than saffron cod at both acclimation temperatures. Tissue-specific differences were quantified, with brain and muscle tissues having the highest and lowest HSP70 protein concentrations, respectively, for both species and acclimation temperatures. The differences in broad whitefish CT between the two acclimation temperatures could be explained with brain and liver tissues from 15°C acclimation having higher HSP70a-201 and HSP70b-201 transcript concentrations than control fish that remained in lab-acclimation conditions of 8°C. The shift in CT and HSP70 protein and paralogous transcripts demonstrate the physiological plasticity that both species possess in responding to two different acclimation temperatures. This response is imperative to understand as aquatic temperatures continue to elevate.

Mitochondrial efficiency impacts nocturnal sheltering in juvenile salmon (), affecting the trade-off between foraging and predation risk.

At cold winter temperatures, juvenile salmonids typically spend much of their time sheltering from predators, which negatively impacts foraging for food. Previous work shows that inter-individual variation in mitochondrial efficiency explains variation in food intake, growth and metabolic rate. Here, we examine whether inter-individual variation in mitochondrial efficiency predicts sheltering as a proxy of foraging patterns for overwintering juvenile Atlantic salmon ().

Accumulation of industrial contaminants in freshwater fish may become a significant threat to biodiversity. Comprehensive monitoring of the impact of environmental stressors on fish functional systems is important and use of non-invasive tools that can detect the presence of these toxicants in vivo is desirable.

Aim: To identify the physiological role of the acid-base sensing enzyme, soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC), in red blood cells (RBC) of the model teleost fish, rainbow trout.
Methods: We used: (i) super-resolution microscopy to determine the subcellular location of sAC protein; (ii) live-cell imaging of RBC intracellular pH (pH) with specific sAC inhibition (KH7 or LRE1) to determine its role in cellular acid-base regulation; (iii) spectrophotometric measurements of haemoglobin-oxygen (Hb-O) binding in steady-state conditions; and (iv) during simulated arterial-venous transit, to determine the role of sAC in systemic O transport.
Results: Distinct pools of sAC protein were detected in the RBC cytoplasm, at the plasma membrane and within the nucleus.

Article Synopsis
- Corruption of marine fish can cause over 25 billion euros in economic losses each year, and traditional preservatives have problems like being toxic and expensive.
- Researchers created a new type of preservative from radish leftovers called R-CDs, which are safe, cheap, and good for the environment.
- R-CDs not only prevent spoilage and protect fish from bacteria but also help keep salmon fillets fresh for an extra 4 days!

The use of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) production has become increasingly common. RAS water disinfection plays a crucial role on its biosecurity. Peracetic acid (PAA) is a promising disinfectant due to its powerful oxidative properties, broad antimicrobial spectrum, and rapid degradation into no harmful compounds.
