Survey of actinosporean types (Myxozoa) belonging to seven collective groups found in a freshwater salmon farm in Northern Scotland

I measured fecundity of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) that matured in the Great Lakes to make comparisons with Pacific Ocean coho salmon and among groups of Great Lakes salmon. Numbers of eggs produced (1600–3500) by Great Lakes salmon were comparable to production (1500–3300) by Pacific salmon of similar size. Average egg diameters of Lake Michigan (7.1–7.4 mm) and Pacific salmon (6.1–7.4 mm) were also comparable but Lake Superior eggs were smaller (5.1–5.4 mm). Fecundity of second generation freshwater salmon which originated from Lake Michigan eggs was similar to that of the first generation which originated from Pacific eggs because the average numbers (2938–3243) and diameters (7.1–7.4 mm) of eggs produced were about the same. On the average, Lake Michigan salmon contained more (2938) and larger (7.1-mm diam) eggs than did Lake Superior salmon (2150 and 5.1-mm diam) of the same year-class and early life history.

Parr of the diadromous and freshwater forms of the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., were cultured through the smolt stage in photoperiod and temperature cycles that were delayed 3 months relative to those in nature. Such environmental manipulations caused a delay of approximately 3 months in smoltification of diadromous parr, as measured by changes in water and lipid content and salinity tolerance. These changes did not occur in parr of freshwater salmon exposed to the same modified photoperiod and temperature cycle. The implications of this are discussed.
