The green option

摘要

Salmonids, including Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), are susceptible to opportunistic infection during early life-stage production. Developing salmonfry generally position near the bottom of tanks, where uneaten feed and waste solids can accumulate and lead to gill irritation and subsequent infection by ubiquitous opportunists.One such opportunistic pathogen grou commonly observed during the fry culture sta at The Conservation Fund Freshwater Institui (FI) is oomycetes of the Saprolegnia genu which can colonize damaged skin and gills an ultimately lead to osmotic and/or respirator failure. A spike of Saprolegnia spp. infectio during juvenile Atlantic salmon productio can be associated with increased mortalit exponential loss of fish, and severe economi consequences if not properly controlled.
