A microassay for gill sodium, potassium-activated ATPase in juvenile Pacific salmon A microassay for gill sodium, potassium-activated ATPase in juvenile Pacific salmon

A microassay well-plate method is described for determining Na+,K+-ATPase activities of small gill sections from juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. The method differs from the established macromethod by detecting inorganic phosphate in nanomole rather than micromole concentrations. This permits the use of much smaller tissue samples, which makes it possible to release fish after...

Efficacy of electrofishing to assess plasma cortisol concentration in juvenile chinook salmon passing hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River Efficacy of electrofishing to assess plasma cortisol concentration in juvenile chinook salmon passing hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River

We tested the efficacy of using electrofishing to collect juvenile fall chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytschato assess their plasma cortisol concentrations. In laboratory experiments, plasma cortisol titers offish sampled immediately (

Biological monitoring of environmental quality: The use of developmental instability Biological monitoring of environmental quality: The use of developmental instability

Distributed robustness is thought to influence the buffering of random phenotypic variation through the scale-free topology of gene regulatory, metabolic, and protein-protein interaction networks. If this hypothesis is true, then the phenotypic response to the perturbation of particular nodes in such a network should be proportional to the number of links those nodes make with...

Application of the stage-projection model with density-dependent fecundity to the population dynamics of Spanish ibex Application of the stage-projection model with density-dependent fecundity to the population dynamics of Spanish ibex

A stage-class population model with density-feedback term included was used to identify the most critical parameters determining the population dynamics of female Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) in southern Spain. A population in the Cazorla and Segura mountains is rapidly declining, but the eastern Sierra Nevada population is growing. The stable population density obtained using...

Involvement of rainbow trout leucocytes in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis Involvement of rainbow trout leucocytes in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis

Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus myluss leucocytes were tested for their ability to support replication of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Viral replication occurred in vitro uslng leucocytes cultured from peripheral blood, kidney, and thymus where viral titers peaked at 2 to 4 d post-inoculation. Leucocytes collected from trout following waterborne challenge with IHNV were...
