Selection for reduced stress responsiveness in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): Role for animal welfare and sustainability in aquaculture

We recently examined individual variation in the effect of stress on feed intake in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after stress, and observed strong correlations between feeding in a novel environment and other behavioral and physiological traits. Fo r instance, fishes that quickly resumed f...

Production of all-female cod as a means to circumvent problems with early puberty in males: Studies on sex determination and differentiation

Early puberty is a major problem in cod farming both due to negative impact on production performance in on-growth farms, and due to risk of negative genetic impact on wild stocks following spawning in sea cages or after escape. Use of all-female stocks c an mitigate some of these problems. Howev...
