Prevalence of Renibacterium salmoninarum among downstream-migrating salmonids in the Columbia River Prevalence of Renibacterium salmoninarum among downstream-migrating salmonids in the Columbia River

Bacterial kidney disease (BKD) is an important contributor to mortality of salmonids in hatcheries in the Columbia River basin. However, the impact of BKD on the survival of downstream migrants is difficult to determine because there is little information on the disease-related mortality among these fish. In this study, the impact of BKD on juvenile salmonids was examined by determining...

Fabrication of stainless steel spherical anodes for use with boat-mounted boom electroshocker Fabrication of stainless steel spherical anodes for use with boat-mounted boom electroshocker

A frugal method of fabricating spherical anodes from stainless steel mixing bowls is presented. We believe that the purported mechanical disadvantages of using spherical electrodes are largely unfounded.

In vitro infection of salmonid epidermal tissues by infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus In vitro infection of salmonid epidermal tissues by infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus

The ability of two rhabdoviruses, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), to infect fish skin was investigated by in vitro infection of excised tissues. Virus replication was determined by plaque assay of homogenized tissue extracts, and the virus antigen was detected by immunohistology of tissue sections. Gill, fin, and ventral...
