Multiunit spike activity was recorded from the olfactory mucosa of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using metal-filled glass microelectrodes. A number of simple and complex solutions were tested for stimulatory effectiveness. Amino acids as a class of compounds were highly stimulatory; little or no response was obtained to a variety of simple sugars, n-aliphatic acids, alcohols, or amino-substituted alcohols. An increase in asynchronous spike activity was evoked by low concentrations of amino acids and oscillatory activity was evoked by higher concentrations of amino acids. Brief treatment of the epithelium with dilute solutions of HgCl2 blocked the chemosensitivity of the receptors.

Fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed a diet containing isolated fish protein grew significantly faster than those fed a diet containing casein without supplemental amino acids, and had improved feed conversion and lower mortality. Supplementing the casein diet with essential amino acids to the levels in the isolated fish protein diet significantly increased growth rate, reduced mortality, and improved feed conversion.When fingerling rainbow trout (S. gairdneri) were fed diets containing soybean meal as the sole source of protein, additions of amino acids to simulate those levels of essential amino acids in trout eggs and isolated fish protein significantly improved growth. Additions of methionine, lysine, histidine, and leucine individually and in several combinations had no effect.

The effects of previous exposure to p,p′-DDT, o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDD, p,p′-DDE, and methoxychlor on temperature selection by juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in a horizontal temperature gradient were similar. Exposure to low concentrations resulted in no change or a decrease in selected temperatures as compared to control values of about 16 C. Exposure to higher concentrations raised selected temperatures. The concentrations of the substances required to produce a given effect varied as: p,p′-DDT≥p,p′-DDD> methoxychlor >o,p′-DDT>p,p′-DDE. Exposure levels of p,p′-DDA≤ 8 ppm did not alter temperature selection nor did exposure to Aroclor® 1254, a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) preparation at 2 ppm. Aldrin lowered temperature selection at 0.1–0.15 ppm. In a vertical gradient, brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) previously exposed to p,p′-DDT and p,p′-DDD selected higher temperatures than controls.
