Open AccessSmall, charged proteins in salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) secretions modulate Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) immune responses and coagulation
Little is known about glandular proteins secreted from the skin- and blood-feeding ectoparasite salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). The labial gland has ducts extending into the oral cavity of the lice, and t...

Open AccessTranscriptome sequencing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) notochord prior to development of the vertebrae provides clues to regulation of positional fate, chordoblast lineage and mineralisation
In teleosts such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), segmentation and subsequent mineralisation of the notochord during embryonic stages are essential for normal vertebrae formation. However, the molecular mecha...

Identification of vimentin- and elastin-like transcripts specifically expressed in develo** notochord of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
The notochord functions as the midline structural element of all vertebrate embryos, and allows movement and growth at early developmental stages. Moreover, during embryonic development, notochord cells produc...

Notochord segmentation may lay down the pathway for the development of the vertebral bodies in the Atlantic salmon
This study indicates that the development of the vertebrae in the Atlantic salmon requires the orchestration of two sources of metameric patterning, derived from the notochord and the somite rows, respectively...

A general, computer-based method for study of the spatial distribution of muscle fiber types in skeletal muscle
The present method provides detailed quantitative information on the spatial distribution of the muscle fiber types in skeletal muscle. This is accomplished by comparing the measured spatial distribution of th...
