The fishes which belong to the genealogi \P ally lower class in the animal kingdom produce a hybrid not only between different species but also between different genei-a. The fish hybrids can be produced with most of teleosts but rarely with selachians. The fish hybrids are produced by experimental crossine but they have also been found in nature è--, by a number of research workers. It has been known that he c chum and salmon class, both of which are classified to the c_ o ;1 their • • lower class fish by genealogists because of certain —• 7 primitive physical structures and of their capabilities of • E- surviving in both fresh and salt water by quickly adapting! t:, 1-. their ecological fitness to the changing environment, have r.:.; some other characteristically close, inter-species, intert •....-■ genera relationship. Therefore, the hybrids between the two species belonging to these classes can be obtained muCh easier than between other different species. Of the salmon family fishes, Winge and Ditlevsen (1948) and Alm (1955) have euccessfully produced experimental hybrids of Atlantic chum, salmon and char classes, and Inaba (1953) of river trout of char genus, and Yamabe and biwa trout of salmon genus. • Of the Pacific salmon, Fujita (1926) and Foerster (1935) discussed morphogenesis of hybrids between various species. Hikita (1962) concluded that the hybrids between chum and ; hime trout and between chum and pink salmon, which are closely related morphologically and ecologically, should have ex- 1 collent probability of survival. Recently Terao and Hayashinaka (1961) prepared a hybrid of hime trout of Shikotsu Lake and salmon'of Chitose River and reported that the hybrid showed excellent growth. They are feeding the in a freshwater pond and have released some to hybrid fry continuously studying their growth and lakes and ponds and ; eging, with the purpOse of improvement of the breeds by ' crossing. The crossing of pink salmon and chum has been known to be experimentally feasible, but there SOOM to be sonie in practice as well as acedemic problems to be difficulty solved. Recently Karinine Hatchery (previously Taranhaku Hatchery Of Japan) at the west coast saghalien of U.S.S.R. is experimenting the crossing of these two species. Although we do not have detailed data of the results, the prime purpose of the study has been described by the chief of Karinin Hatchery as "This hatchery started its operation in 1954, and somehow in that year, we found only female fish of chum coming up the stream to the spawning area. We were convinced that the natural source of chum in Karinin area would be extinct if the situation was left without correction. There was only one thing that could be done to save the extinction of the fish. It was to fecundate the eggs of chum It In Hokkaido Translator's Note. tat Transliterated (T.N.) : • s • -7- with the spermatozoa of salmon. The work was risky but we decided to take a chance." * I • We do not have a record of releasing this particular hybrid fry to rivers. Therefore, we have experimented on crossing of chum and pink salmon that come up the Horonai River which runs into Okhotsk Sea, fed the fry for a certain period, and released.to Horonai River. We.also made detailed observations of the fry in order to accumulate the fundamental knowledge on the possible fixation of the hybrid thus produced. This report is a summary of the works carried out by us in the last three years.

Domesti- cated fish (farmed and sea-ranched), which had been exposed to artificial selection, were not dominant against wild fish in pairwise contests, nor did they show greater aggressiveness. Farmed fish did show greater feeding than wild fish. Under chemically simulated predation risk, farmed fish were more willing to leave cover and feed than wild fish, indicating reduced predator avoidance in the farmed fish. Our results indicate that selection for fast growth (domestication) in masu salmon favors fish that respond to food quickly and ignore predation risk.

  • Salmon Fact Sheet
    THE WILD SALMON SEAFOOD MARKET’S GUIDE TO W I L D P A C I F I C S A L M O N Salmon Pacific Salmon occur from northern California along the Pacific Coast throughout the Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean waters adjacent to Alaska. Salmon are anadromous, that is, they spawn in fresh water and the young migrate to the sea where they mature. The mature Salmon returns to the stream of their birth to spawn. Nutrition Few single foods bring as many valuable contributions to the table as Salmon. An excellent source of high-quality protein, containing all the essential amino acids. The fats in Salmon are predominately unsaturated. These fats are evidenced to reduce the risk of heart disease. Availability Although each species has a particular season, small fisheries of wild salmon occur periodically, making fresh salmon (often hard to find and expensive) available throughout the year. Your best values will come during peak salmon season, May through September. Frozen salmon (often frozen at sea) is available during the off season. Also known as Chinook Salmon.

Received: 20 March 2014; in revised form: 15 April 2014 / Accepted: 15 April 2014 / Published: 8 May 2014 Abstract: In order to determine the absolute configuration of naturally occurring alloxanthin, a HPLC analytical method for three stereoisomers 1a–c was established by using a chiral column. Two authentic samples, (3S,3′S)- and meso-stereoisomers 1b and 1c, were chemically synthesized according to the method previously developed for (3R,3′R)-alloxanthin (1a). Application of this method to various alloxanthin specimens of aquatic animals demonstrated that those isolated from shellfishes, tunicates, and crucian carp are identical with (3R,3′R)-stereoisomer 1a, and unexpectedly those from lake shrimp, catfish, biwa goby, and biwa trout are mixtures of three stereoisomers of 1a–c. Keywords: carotenoid; alloxanthin; synthesis; chiral HPLC separation; absolute configuration 1. Introduction Alloxanthin (1) (Figure 1) was first isolated from Cryptomonas algae [1] and its structure was determined to be 7,8,7′,8′-tetreradehydro-β,β-carotene-3,3′-diol by MS, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopies [2].

Ltd., Matsumoto-city, Nagano 390-1241, Japan ABSTRACT: The use of hatchery-reared fish to replenish existing threatened wild populations has been shown to reduce or change the natural genetic diversity of the wild populations. In this study, the genetic diversity of wild Formosa landlocked salmon Oncorhynchus formosanus in its main habitat of the Chichiawan Stream in Taiwan was examined after a large-scale escape of hatchery- cultivated fish. Approximately 3000 individuals (the descendants of only 5 pairs of wild salmon) es- caped from an old hatchery when Typhoon Ariel breached the hatchery in the fall of 2004. The ge- netic diversity of the wild population was extremely low at that time, and declined further between 2004 and 2008 following the escape of hatchery fish. We hypothesize that the decline in genetic di- versity of the wild population was mainly caused by a population bottleneck in 2005, and that ge- netic homogeneity since 2005 was caused by breeding of the escaped hatchery fish (which showed low genetic diversity) that survived the floods of 2004. This supports the possibility that the drastic decline in genetic diversity between 2004 and 2008 was caused by the genetic effects of the escaped hatchery fish, and demonstrates the risk of introducing hatchery fish into the wild.

    United States Department of Agriculture Variation in Salmonid Life Forest Service Histories: Patterns and Pacific Northwest Research Station Perspectives Research Paper PNW-RP-498 Mary F. Willson February 1997 Author MARY F. WILLSON is a research ecologist, Forestry Sciences Laboratory, 2770 Sherwood Lane, Juneau, AK 98801. Abstract Willson, Mary F. 1997. Variation in salmonid life histories: patterns and perspectives. Res. Pap. PNW-RP-498. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 50 p. Salmonid fishes differ in degree of anadromy, age of maturation, frequency of repro- duction, body size and fecundity, sexual dimorphism, breeding season, morphology, and, to a lesser degree, parental care. Patterns of variation and their possible signif- icance for ecology and evolution and for resource management are the focus of this review. Keywords: Salmon, char, Oncorhynchus, Salmo, Salvelinus, life history, sexual dimor- phism, age of maturation, semelparity, anadromy, phenology, phenotypic variation, parental care, speciation. Summary Salmonid fishes differ in degree of anadromy, age of maturation, frequency of reproduction, body size and fecundity, sexual dimorphism, breeding season, morphology, and to a lesser degree, parental care. The advantages of large body size in reproductive competition probably favored the evolution of ocean foraging, and the advantages of safe breeding sites probably favored freshwater spawning. Both long-distance migrations and reproductive competition may have favored the evolution of semelparity. Reproductive competition has favored the evolution of secondary sexual characters, alternative mating tactics, and probably nest-defense behavior. Salmonids provide good examples of character divergence in response to ecological release and of parallel evolution. The great phenotypic plasticity of these fishes may facilitate speciation.

  • Attention California Ocean Salmon Anglers
    Attention California Ocean Salmon Anglers Please check your catch! Coho salmon are frequently contacted in California’s ocean fisheries. Although some of these salmon may have originated from Oregon or Washington, many are California coastal coho salmon, which are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Thus the retention of coho salmon is PROHIBITED in all California ocean fisheries. Please take the time to correctly identify each salmon caught before removing it from the water. All coho must be released. *Photo by CDFW Warden Bob Aldrich Help avoid contacting coho salmon: Rig to fish deeper - coho are more often in the top 30 feet of water. Fish nearshore for Chinook - coho are usually more offshore. Use large lures that select for larger Chinook and reduce coho catch. For additional information, please check the CDFW website at www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/oceansalmon.asp or call the Ocean Salmon Hotline at (707) 576-3429 Note: A few pink salmon have been caught in past seasons, usually in odd numbered years. Pink salmon are generally smaller than Chinook and coho salmon and can be identified by the large, oval- shaped spots found on their back and on both lobes of the tail fin. Their scales are very small and number over 168 in the row above the lateral line. The minimum size limit in California for pink salmon is the same as Chinook. The daily bag/possession limit remains 2 salmon of any species except coho. .

Most (63-91%) adult salmon were recaptured in the pool in which they were marked. The rest of the salmon moved upstream or downstream <20m during the non-breeding period. The proportion of the salmon moving increased slightly during the breeding period, but did not exceed 66%. The distance moved was also more variable during this period. The proportion of the smaller salmon which moved was larger than that of the larger fish during the non-breeding period. Conversely, during the breeding period, larger fish moved more frequently. Sedentary behaviour and local movements of adult salmon seem to be affected by their social relationships. Restricted movement is a general aspect of the behaviour of stream fishes (Gerking, 1959).
