Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for a soluble antigen of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent for salmonid bacterial kidney disease Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for a soluble antigen of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent for salmonid bacterial kidney disease

A double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of a soluble fraction of Renibacterium salmoninarum was developed from components extracted from the supernatant of an R. salmoninarum broth culture. The Costar® Serocluster™ EIA microplate gave the highest absorbance and signal-to-noise ratios among seven types tested. Including Tween 80 in the wash buffer...

Safe pre-release disease treatment with formalin for fall chinook salmon smolts Safe pre-release disease treatment with formalin for fall chinook salmon smolts

Standard formalin treatment (167 μL/L for 1 h) applied to presmolts and smolts of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) 80, 62, 52, 38, 24, and 10 d prior to seawater exposure did not affect freshwater growth or survival during a 20-d period in seawater. There was no consistent effect of treatment on gill Na+, K+ -ATPase activity.

Family size and effective population size in a hatchery stock of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Family size and effective population size in a hatchery stock of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

Means and variances of family size measured in five year-classes of wire-tagged coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were linearly related. Population effective size was calculated by using estimated means and variances of family size in a 25-yr data set. Although numbers of age 3 adults returning to the hatchery appeared to be large enough to avoid inbreeding problems (the 25-yr mean...

Sequential tests for infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in individuals and populations of sockeye salmon Sequential tests for infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in individuals and populations of sockeye salmon

The incidence and titer distribution of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in cavity fluid from spent female sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) varied little when fish from a naturally spawning population were sampled three times on alternate days. However, when prespawning female sockeye salmon from a second population were individually tagged, penned, and sampled daily, the...
