Evaluation of Schizochytrium sp. as a source of DHA and Haematococcus pluvialis as a source of astaxanthin pigment in diets for farmed salmonids
(2021-12-10)Two studies were conducted to evaluate the digestibility of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich Schizochytrium sp. (Sc) in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to assess the fillet pigmenting efficacy of a weakened whole ... -
The Kype: An Assessment of Presence and Absence, Composition, Structure, and Evolution of a Spawning-related Lower Jaw Modification in Living and Fossil Salmonids
(2016-04-29)When in their spawn-run, several salmonids (salmon, graylings, etc.) develop a kype. The kype is a spawning-related lower jaw modification composed of a connective tissue mass supported by a framework of chondroid and ... -
The Post-Spawning Ecology of Iteroparous Salmonids: Basis of Variability in Migratory Behaviour and Survival, Ecological Importance and Conservation Implications
(2019-10-07)The overarching objective of my thesis is to shed light on a poorly understood life history stage of salmonid fish species, by quantifying spatio-temporal variation in the ecological importance of iteroparity (i.e. repeated ...
