The diet of salmon (Salmo salar) in the Baltic Sea and connections with the M74 syndrome

Article Abstract:

The effects of M74 on Baltic Salmon (Salmo Salar) populations has been linked to the feeding ecology of sea-run fish. The results of a 2-year study in 1995-1997 and a regression study showed the incidence of M74 was strongly correlated to Baltic sprat (Sprattus sprattus) Sprat dominates the salmon diet in the Baltic region.

Astaxanthin deficiency in eggs and fry of Baltic salmon (Salmo salar) with the M74 syndrome

Article Abstract:

Carontenoid astaxanthin is examined for its correlation to antioxidative protection of Baltic Sea salmon (Salmo salar) offspring infected, and not infected, with M74 syndrome. Low levels of astaxanthin are linked to M74 syndrome in the salmon. Different biological functions of carotenoids are also discussed.
