Preliminary sampling revealed the presence of furunculosis disease in the resident brook trout population of the southern Ontario trout stream used in this study.Two plantings of marked yearling brook trout were made in the study area in 1966; one in the spring, and the other in the fall. The spring planting consisted of 1000 brook trout with a predetermined incidence of furunculosis infection and an equal number of trout with no evidence of infection. The fall planting consisted of 2000 brook trout with a known incidence of furunculosis infection.The stream was electrofished periodically during the 2-year period after the first planting. A total of 445 brook trout (140 of the planted hatchery stock, and 305 resident trout) and 127 fish of associated species were captured and examined for the presence of Aeromonas salmonicida, causative agent of furunculosis.Recovery rates of the "infected" and "noninfected" stocks of brook trout were similar, and there was no evidence of transmission of A. salmonicida from the infected fish to the control fish, nor the resident population of brook trout and other species of fish captured.

The individual downstream swimming behaviour of two-summer-old salmon from the Ume River hatchery stock was monitored throughout the natural smolting period in May–June. The experiment was performed in an artificial-stream tank (diameter 11 m) equipped with a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag monitoring system. The swimming speed of individual fish in relation to water velocity and the porportion of time during which an individual fish showed active versus passive displacement were investigated using a total of 224 sexually immature fish and previously mature males, individually PIT tagged. At peak migration fish swam downstream at an average speed of about double the water velocity, indicating active downstream migration. No differences in downstream swimming speed between migratory and nonmigratory fish were observed. However, migratory and nonmigratory fish used considerably different proportions of the total time swimming faster than the water current, 10% for migratory fish but only 0.1% for nonmigratory fish. Migratory smolts covered about 25% of their total downstream displacement by means of active downstream swimming: 3.3 km out of 13.5 km in 24 h. Thus, the study clearly shows that active downstream swimming is an important part of the migratory repertoire of salmon smolts.

This study combines otolith trace element and genetic analyses to explore the origin of individuals when hatchery-reared fish are released into wild populations. We sampled 90 juvenile Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) in four rivers in Normandy (France) and in the hatchery stock. Individuals were analyzed at six microsatellite markers and their otolith elemental concentrations (14 elements) were measured using femto-second laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Wild populations were genetically differentiated from the hatchery strain (FST ≈ 0.06). Significant differences in elemental concentrations were found among otoliths of juveniles from the four rivers and the hatchery, allowing the identification of their geographic origin (83%–100% correct assignment). Coupling genetic and trace element analyses on the same individuals provided formal evidence that hatchery-born juveniles released into the wild can migrate to the sea and return as adults to breed on natural spawning grounds. Their progeny have pure hatchery pedigrees but have otoliths typical of river-born juveniles, meaning that they can be mistaken for hatchery-raised juveniles if only genetic data are considered. The presence of hybrids also confirmed that individuals with hatchery pedigrees can breed with wild conspecifics.
