Journal ArticleDOI
The relationships between stocking density and welfare in farmed rainbow trout
TL;DR: There is increasing public, governmental and commercial interest in the welfare of intensively farmed fish and stocking density has been highlighted as an area of particular concern, and there are contradictory recommendations in the literature for key water quality parameters to ensure adequate welfare status.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the biology, handling and storage of salmonid spermatozoa
Alexander P. Scott,S. M. Baynes +1 more
TL;DR: Several aspects of salmonid sperm have been critically reviewed: structure, density, volume, chemical composition, metabolism, fertilisation techniques, motility, dilution, activation, storage at temperatures above and below 0deg; C and cryopreservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bile Acid Secreted by Male Sea Lamprey That Acts as a Sex Pheromone
Weiming Li,Alexander P. Scott,Michael J. Siefkes,Honggao Yan,Qin Liu,Sang-Seon Yun,Douglas A. Gage +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that reproductively mature male sea lampreys release a bile acid that acts as a potent sex pheromone, inducing preference and searching behavior in ovulated female lampreys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of estrogenic activity in United Kingdom estuarine and coastal waters and its effects on gonadal development of the flounder Platichthys flesus
TL;DR: Whether estrogens and their mimics are present in marine waters at concentrations that can produce biological responses in fish and, if so, whether the effects are likely to be harmful to populations and communities through changes in reproductive and other physiological processes is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A non‐invasive stress assay based upon measurement of free cortisol released into the water by rainbow trout
TL;DR: It was confirmed that cortisol concentrations in water and estimated cortisol release rates increased in response to handling stress, and that both were correlated with plasma cortisol concentrations.
