Oncorhynchus Essays

Many differences separate Pacific Coast and Native Atlantic Salmon, other than the fact that Pacific Salmon live in the Pacific region and Atlantic salmon live in the Atlantic region. When talking about scientific names, Pacific Salmon have oncorhynchus as a genus, while Atlantic Salmon have salar as a genus. When talking about spawning, Pacific Salmon are semelparous, or can die immediately, Atlantic Salmon on the other hand, can have a 5% chance of living after spawning, we call this iteroparous

We all use the wonderful gifts of nature the ocean provides us, whether it be some flavorful sea salt or a sea sponge loofah. But easily the most valuable treasure of the ocean is the delicious seafood it provides us! Seafood includes crustaceans, octopi, as well as fish. Some of the fish commonly caught in the ocean include tuna, tilapia, and catfish, oh my! The list is endless. Unfortunately, so is the fishing of these critters. While fish have been a staple food item in the diet of humans since

Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss Introduction: The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of salmonids native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. In 1989, the species name Oncorhynchus mykiss became the scientific name of the rainbow trout while the anadromous forms of the coastal rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) or redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) are commonly known as steelhead. Rainbow trout is a hardy fish, fast growing

paraheamolyticus, and are the most prevalent pathogens in China. Taking Vibrio anguillarum for example, it caused deadly hemorrhagic septicaemic disease in many marine and freshwater species, including Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), turbot (Psetta maxima), sea bream (Sparus aurata), Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer), eel (Anguila japonica/sinica), ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) and groupers (Epinephalus spp.) (Frans et al. 2011). The entry pathway of Vibrio anguillarum

Binomial nomenclature - binary nomenclature A scientific system of naming through which each species of living organisms is given a name composed of two parts; the first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens. Both parts of the scientific name are usually Greek or Latin or sometimes both languages. For example, the scientific name of the narrow-leaf firethorn is Pyracantha angustifolia

private or non-federal government agencies during lawful activities (USFWS, 1996). The HCP was developed to protect five aquatic and terrestrial species; the bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), the westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi), redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri), the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), and the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) (USFWS & DNRC,

territory, ability to carry more eggs. Quinn and Buck conducted an experiment in various creeks in Alaska over the span of two years to determine the extent of size selection and sexual selection contributing to the mortality of the sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus spp., during spawning season. The research was conducted from 1997 to 1999, and they collected data by walking by the creeks and examining the dead salmon carcass. They measured the length of the fish, their

Salmo trutta, S. salar, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, O. kisutch, and O. mykiss; Basulto 2003; León-Muñoz et al. 2007; Soto et al. 2006), therefore Salmonids are useful models to address how species evolve in a new environment. In this context, Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1972 is one of the most introduced and successful freshwater species due to its economic value, its ease of culture
