Abstract
Smoltification prepares juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) for downstream migration. Dramatic changes characterize this crucial event in the salmon's life cycle, including increased gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity (NKA) and plasma hormone levels. The triggering of smoltification relies on photoperiod and is modulated by temperature. Both provide reliable information, to which fish have adapted for thousands of years, that allows deciphering daily and calendar time. Here we studied the impact of different photoperiod (natural, sustained winter solstice) and temperature (natural, ~ + 4° C) combinations, on gill NKA, plasma free triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), and melatonin (MEL; the time-keeping hormone), throughout smoltification. We also studied the impact of temperature history on pineal gland MEL production in vitro. The spring increase in gill NKA was less pronounced in smolts kept under sustained winter photoperiod and/or elevated temperature. Plasma thyroid hormone levels displayed day-night variations, which were affected by elevated temperature, either independently from photoperiod (decrease in T3 levels) or under natural photoperiod exclusively (increase in T4 nocturnal levels). Nocturnal MEL secretion was potentiated by the elevated temperature, which also altered the MEL profile under sustained winter photoperiod. Temperature also affected pineal MEL production in vitro, a response that depended on previous environmental acclimation of the organ. The results support the view that the salmon pineal is a photoperiod and temperature sensor, highlight the complexity of the interaction of these environmental factors on the endocrine system of S. salar, and indicate that climate change might compromise salmon's time "deciphering" during smoltification, downstream migration and seawater residence.

Abstract
Calcitonin (CT) has a potential function in calcium (Ca) regulation, but there are conflicting observations in fishes. Because of the lack of calcified endoskeleton, sturgeons have low Ca circulating compared with teleost fish and the function of CT on Ca in sturgeon is very less understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of injection of salmon CT on plasma Ca, magnesium (Mg), phosphate (PHO), and glucose levels of juvenile Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii. Sixteen-month-old fish (429.6 ± 12.1 g) were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of CT (5 μg kg-1 BW) and saline solution as a control group. Thereafter, blood sampling was performed at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after injection. CT produced marked increases in all variables measured. The highest levels of Ca (6.77 ± 0.53 mg dL-1), Mg (9.79 ± 0.16 mg dL-1) and PHO (1.74 ± 0.05 mg dL-1) were recorded at 2 h after CT injection and showed significant difference compared with control treatment (Ca 4.75 ± 0.12 mg dL-1; Mg 5.47 ± 0.16 mg dL-1 and PHO 1.23 ± 0.06 mg dL-1). It also likely produced hyperglycemia. However, the differences with the controls were not statistically significant, possibly due to interference with the hyperglycemia induced by the stress of injection. Our results showed that the injection of 5 μg kg-1 BW CT to Siberian sturgeon has an incremental effect on plasma Ca, Mg, and PHO. The increase in plasma Ca level indicated that CT has a potent hypercalcemic effect in sturgeon under laboratory condition, in contrast to the hypocalcemic effects reported for teleosts.

Abstract
The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis, a type of sea lice (family Caligidae), is enzootic in marine waters of British Columbia and poses a health risk to both farmed Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar and wild Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. At the adult stage, sea lice infections can often result in severe cutaneous lesions in their salmonid hosts. To evaluate and compare the physiological consequences of adult L. salmonis infections, smolts of Atlantic Salmon and Sockeye Salmon O. nerka were exposed to 2 (low), 6 (medium), or 10 (high) adult female lice/fish. Mean lice abundance decreased over time in all groups. Skin disruption due to parasite infection was observed in both species. Plasma samples were collected from infected fish and uninfected controls at 1, 3, 5, and 7 d postinfection and measured for indicators of osmoregulatory function and stress. Sockeye Salmon, regardless of L. salmonis exposure level, showed a rapid onset of elevated osmolality and sodium and chloride ion concentrations which were sustained until 7 d postinfection when values returned to levels comparable with the unexposed controls. Conversely, these effects were not measured in Atlantic Salmon. Additionally, differential host effects in blood glucose levels were observed, with Sockeye Salmon displaying immediate elevation in glucose. Relative to Atlantic Salmon, infection with L. salmonis caused a profound physiological impact to Sockeye Salmon characterized by loss of osmoregulatory integrity and a stress response. This work provides the first comprehensive report of the physiological consequences of infections with adult L. salmonis in Sockeye Salmon smolts and helps to further define the mechanisms of susceptibility in this species.

Abstract
Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) is a widespread disease of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and is associated with piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection. PRV is detectable in blood long before development of pathology in cardiac- and skeletal muscle appear, and erythrocytes have been identified as important target cells for the virus. The effects of PRV infection on cellular processes of erythrocytes are not known, but haemolytic anemia or systemic lysis of erythrocytes does not seem to occur, even with high virus loads in erythrocytes. In this study, gene expression profiling performed with high-density oligonucleotide microarray showed that PRV infection of erythrocytes induced a large panel of virus responsive genes. These involved interferon-regulated antiviral genes, as well as genes involved in antigen presentation via MHC class I. PRV infection also stimulated negative immune regulators. In contrast, a large number of immune genes expressed prior to infection were down-regulated. Moderate reduction of expression was also found for many genes encoding components of cytoskeleton and myofiber, proteins involved in metabolism, ion exchange, cell-cell interactions as well as growth factors and regulators of differentiation. PRV did not affect expression of genes involved in heme biosynthesis, gas exchange or erythrocyte-specific markers, but some regulators of erythropoiesis showed decreased transcription levels. These results indicate that PRV infection activates innate antiviral immunity in salmon erythrocytes, but suppresses other gene expression programs. Gene expression profiles suggest major phenotypic changes in PRV infected erythrocytes, but the functional consequences remain to be explored.

Abstract
Overfished species of rockfish, Sebastes spp., from the Northeast Pacific experience high bycatch mortality because of 'barotrauma', a condition induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Field experiments show that it may be possible for rockfish to recover from barotrauma if quickly recompressed; however, no work has followed the physiological recovery of rockfish after recompression or determined whether it is possible for rockfish to survive barotrauma in the long term. Barotrauma was induced in adult black rockfish, Sebastes melanops Girard, from a simulated depth of 35 m, followed by recompression. Blood and selected tissues (eye, heart ventricle, head kidney, liver, rete mirabile and gonad) were sampled at days 3, 15 and 31 post-recompression to evaluate the tissue- and physiologic-level response during recovery. No mortality from barotrauma occurred during the experiments, and feeding resumed in 80% of both treatment and control fish. The primary injury in treatment fish was the presence of a ruptured swimbladder and/or a ruptured tunica externa (outer layer of swimbladder), which was slow to heal. Blood plasma was analysed for glucose, sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, insulin-like growth factor-1 and cortisol. Plasma analyses indicated no strong effects because of barotrauma, suggesting overall handling stress outweighed any effect from barotrauma. Rockfish with ruptured swimbladders may face compromised competency in the wild; however, it appears the majority of black rockfish decompressed from 35 m have a high potential for recovery if recompressed immediately after capture. This research suggests recompression could be a valuable bycatch mortality reduction tool for rockfish in recreational fisheries.

Abstract
Smolting is a hormone-driven developmental process that is adaptive for downstream migration and ocean survival and growth in anadromous salmonids. Smolting includes increased salinity tolerance, increased metabolism, downstream migratory and schooling behavior, silvering and darkened fin margins, and olfactory imprinting. These changes are promoted by growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor I, cortisol, thyroid hormones, whereas prolactin is inhibitory. Photoperiod and temperature are critical environmental cues for smolt development, and their relative importance will be critical in determining responses to future climate change. Most of our knowledge of the environmental control and endocrine mediation of smolting is based on laboratory and hatchery studies, yet there is emerging information on fish in the wild that indicates substantial differences. Such differences may arise from differences in environmental stimuli in artificial rearing environments, and may be critical to ocean survival and population sustainability. Endocrine disruptors, acidification and other contaminants can perturb smolt development, resulting in poor survival after seawater entry.

Abstract
Juvenile steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) acclimated to freshwater (FW) were subjected for 3 h to confinement stress in FW, and subsequently saltwater (SW, 25 ppt) was introduced to all tanks. Fish were sampled immediately after the stress treatment, and 1, 7, and 14 days after introduction of SW. Electrolytes, cortisol, glucose, and lactate showed the typical stress response expected after stress treatment in FW. Fish regained osmotic balance within 24 h. Glucose concentrations were increasing throughout the experiment and lactate levels stayed elevated during the time spent in SW. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) did not show an immediate response to stress but after transfer to SW we detected significantly higher concentrations for control fish at days 1 and 14. The differences in IGF-1 levels between stressed and control fish are not reflected in SW adaptability but positive correlations between IGF-1 and electrolyte levels in control fish may indicate its role for osmoregulation. Confinement stress did not impair feed intake subsequently in SW, but our results suggest that feed intake was suppressed by the change of the media from FW to SW.

Abstract
SUMMARY
We investigated the relationship between nitric oxide (NO) and Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) in the gill of anadromous Atlantic salmon. Cells containing NO-producing enzymes were revealed by means of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) immunocytochemistry and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPHd) histochemistry, which can be used as an indicator of NOS activity, i.e. NO production. Antibodies against the two constitutive NOS isoforms, neuronal and endothelial NOS, both produced immunoreactivity restricted to large cells at the base and along the secondary lamellae. NADPHd-positive cells showed a corresponding distribution. Antibodies against the inducible NOS isoform only labeled small cells located deep in the filament. Using in situ hybridization and NKA immunoreactivity, cells expressing Na+,K+-ATPaseα-subunit mRNA were found to have a similar distribution to the NOS cells. Double labeling for NOS immunoreactivity and NKA α-subunit mRNA revealed cellular colocalization of NKA α-subunit mRNA and nNOS protein in putative chloride cells at the base of the lamellae and interlamellar space. Along the lamellae, some NOS- or NKA-immunoreactive cells possessed a relatively lower expression of NKA α-subunit mRNA in smolts. A clear increase in NADPHd staining in the gill was demonstrated from parr to smolt. The regulatory role of NO on gill NKA activity was studied in vitrousing sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 1 mmol l-1) and PAPA-NONOate(NOC-15; 0.5 mmol l-1) as NO donors. Both SNP and NOC-15 inhibited gill NKA activity by 30% when compared to controls. The study shows that NO systems are abundant in the gill of Atlantic salmon, that NO may be produced preferentially by a constitutive NOS isoform, and suggests that NO influence on gill functions is mediated via intracellular, possibly both auto/paracrine,inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase activity in chloride cells. Furthermore, the increase in NADPHd in the gill during smoltification suggests a regulatory role of NO in the attenuation of the smoltification-related increase in Na+,K+-ATPase activity prior to entering seawater.

Abstract
The fish gill is a multipurpose organ that, in addition to providing for aquatic gas exchange, plays dominant roles in osmotic and ionic regulation, acid-base regulation, and excretion of nitrogenous wastes. Thus, despite the fact that all fish groups have functional kidneys, the gill epithelium is the site of many processes that are mediated by renal epithelia in terrestrial vertebrates. Indeed, many of the pathways that mediate these processes in mammalian renal epithelial are expressed in the gill, and many of the extrinsic and intrinsic modulators of these processes are also found in fish endocrine tissues and the gill itself. The basic patterns of gill physiology were outlined over a half century ago, but modern immunological and molecular techniques are bringing new insights into this complicated system. Nevertheless, substantial questions about the evolution of these mechanisms and control remain.

Abstract
Since gallium is a metal ion used in semiconductor industry, the toxicological effects were previously evaluated in mammals but the ecotoxicological impacts remain unknown. In term of ecotoxicological risk assessment, the median lethal concentration (LC50 for 96 h of gallium to carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and the oxidative response of carp phagocytes after the fish were exposed to sublethal levels of gallium were determined. The LC50 of gallium on C. carpio at 96 h was estimated as 96.25 +/- 14.3 mg/L. To determine the effect in vivo of gallium on the phagocyte response, fish were exposed for 96 h to 5 or 50 mg Ga(3+)/L. Carp maintained for 48 or 96 h in water containing 50 mg/L gallium had a significant fall in phagocyte oxidative burst activity in comparison with controls, as well as decreased leukocyte number in blood and increased cytotoxicity. To determine the effect in vitro of gallium on the phagocyte response, isolated phagocytes were exposed for 5 or 15 min to 50 nM, 500 nM, or 5, 50, 100, or 200 microM of Ga(3+). The oxidative burst was increased after in vitro incubation of phagocytes with 50 or 500 nM gallium for 15 min or with 500 nM gallium for 5 min. Moreover, for 50, 100, or 200 microM gallium, the oxidative burst activity of carp phagocytes was significantly decreased. Results indicate that the lethal toxicity of gallium for carp of gallium is not as high as for other metal ions. However, gallium was immunosuppressive for carp at the highest concentrations used (from 50 microM) in vivo and in vitro. At low concentrations, it could be an immunostimulant as observed in vitro.

Abstract
To examine the physiological role of calcitonin (CT) in calcium homeostasis of teleosts, we compared calcium and CT levels in freshwater eels fed a high calcium-consomme solution (Ca2+: 1.25 M; 1 ml/100 g body wt) into the stomach (Experiment I), and in freshwater eels transferred from freshwater to seawater (Experiment II). In experiment I, plasma calcium and CT levels in the high calcium-treated eels rapidly increased (calcium: 2.63 mM at 0 h to 8. 50 mM at 3 h; CT: below detection level at 0 h to 1118.2 pg/ml at 3 h). Plasma calcium and CT levels in the control eels remained below detection level during the 3 h of the experiment. In experiment II, the plasma CT levels did not increase, although the plasma calcium levels increased from 3.23 mM at 0 h to 4.10 mM at 8 h. Therefore, in eels, we demonstrate a correlation between plasma CT and plasma calcium raised by dietary calcium in the consomme form, but it does not participate in the initial processes of seawater adaptation.

Abstract
Factors potentially regulating hepatic growth hormone (GH) receptors in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) have been investigated. From December to June of the first year, relative changes in hepatic 125I-sGH binding and 35SO4 incorporation by ceratobranchial cartilage were similar. Stunted salmon, which in seawater have elevated plasma GH yet fail to grow, showed lower hepatic 125I-sGH binding than did normally growing seawater salmon. However, MgCl2 treatment of stunts' membranes to reveal total specific binding of 125I-sGH indicated receptor occupation by endogenous sGH. Total specific 125I-sGH binding was low in seawater stunts and remained low if these fish remained unfed after return to fresh water, but increased approximately twofold upon feeding. Total specific binding in fasted salmon in fresh water showed a trend toward decreased levels by 1 week; by 3 weeks, binding was 40% lower than in fed fish. There was a positive correlation (r = 0.600) between condition factor and total specific binding in fed and fasted salmon in fresh water. Two weeks after hypophysectomy total specific binding was 50% lower than in sham-operated control salmon, indicating pituitary regulation of GH receptors. GH treatment reduced both free and total 125I-sGH binding in salmon examined 24 hr after treatment. Treatment with recombinant bovine insulin-like growth factor I, thyroxine, or cortisol did not affect free 125I-sGH binding. Both the pituitary and nutrition appear to be prime regulators of hepatic GH receptors in coho salmon.

Abstract
Concentrations of brain salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (sGnRH), plasma gonadotropin I (GTH I), and pituitary GTH I and GTH II were determined in yearling chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) during the parr-smolt transformation in two successive seasons. There were significant elevations in brain sGnRH content from February to March in 1988, and from February to April in 1989. Increases in brain sGnRH content coincided with elevations in plasma thyroxine levels that occurred from February to March, 1988 and 1989. Plasma GTH levels were relatively constant (1-2 ng/ml) throughout the period of sampling. However, during 1988, plasma concentrations of GTH I decreased significantly between late March and early April. During 1989, plasma GTH I levels appeared to reach a peak (2 ng/ml) in mid-February, but otherwise remained near 1 ng/ml. Previous studies have shown that GTH II was not detectable in plasma at this stage. During 1989, pituitary GTH I concentrations were 50- to 70-fold higher than that of GTH II, and increased, though not significantly, from February through April. Although GTH II was detected in the pituitary by RIA, it is likely that the measurable levels are due to GTH I cross-reaction in the GTH II RIA. Histological examination of the gonads indicated that throughout smoltification the oocytes remained in the perinucleolar stage of oogenesis and the testes were in the spermatogonial stage of spermatogenesis. Although no observable changes in gametogenesis occurred, the changes in brain sGnRH content, plasma GTH I levels, and pituitary GTH content suggest that some changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis may occur during smoltification.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to quantify stanniocalcin (STC) levels in tissue extracts and plasma samples. The detection limit of the competitive ELISA described is 0.2 ng STC per well, allowing detection of 3.7 pmol.liter-1 (assuming a molecular mass of 54,000 Da for native STC). The particular antiserum detects STC in plasma obtained from a variety of freshwater and seawater species. In freshwater post-smolt Salmo salar plasma, STC levels were significantly lower (around 0.74 nmol.liter-1) than those of seawater smolts (around 2.78 nmol.liter-1). Seven days after removal of Stannius corpuscles from freshwater eels a significant hypercalcemia was observed as well as a drop in plasma STC levels (from 2.33 to 0.67 nmol.liter-1).

Abstract
Plasma concentrations of Na+, K+, triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) and muscle water content were measured in yearling coho salmon. Oncorhynchus kisutch, after injection of cortisol in April, May, and June in fresh water (FW) and during acclimation to seawater (SW). Cortisol (17-21 micrograms/g), injected intraperitoneally in a melted cocoa butter suspension, suppressed the rise of plasma Na+ during SW acclimation in April but not in May or June. Muscle water content increased during SW acclimation in cortisol-treated fish in April and June. These observations suggest a hypoosmoregulatory function for cortisol during SW acclimation. Cortisol treatment also induced elevations of plasma K+ in FW (April only) and SW (April and May only). Cortisol treatment increased plasma T3 during SW acclimation in June and T4 in FW in May. The results suggest that cortisol may modify osmoregulatory processes and thyroid hormone activity during smoltification and acclimation to SW in yearling coho salmon.

Abstract
At the time of smoltification in May, smolts and sexually mature male parr were transferred to seawater (25% salinity) and sampled after 6 and 24 hr. Plasma levels of growth hormone (GH) were measured by radioimmunoassay. There was no difference in GH levels between smolts and mature parr in fresh water. GH levels did not change during exposure of smolts to seawater. In the mature male parr, plasma GH levels increased after 24 hr, when the levels were almost five times those of the freshwater controls. In the mature male parr, there was an increase in plasma osmolality, sodium, and magnesium after 24 hr in seawater; magnesium also increased after 6 hr. The levels of potassium and calcium did not change in either immature parr or mature male parr. The increase in plasma GH levels in the mature parr in seawater may be part of a mechanism to increase hypoosmoregulatory ability in fish not ready for seawater entry.

Abstract
The status of circulating growth hormone and prolactin during the parr-smolt transformation and during seawater adaptation of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was investigated in relation to changes in plasma levels of thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and cortisol, and in hypoosmoregulatory ability. Sampling (biweekly or monthly) occurred between early February and October. When peak hypoosmoregulatory ability was achieved (mid-April), one group of fish was acclimated to seawater over a period of 18 hr and was sampled 1, 3, and 7 days after the introduction of fish to seawater and biweekly thereafter. Plasma prolactin levels rose steadily from the first sampling date to a peak of 15 ng/ml in early April, declined rapidly, and remained low until June when a second increase occurred. Prolactin declined to 2 ng/ml within 1 day of the beginning of seawater adaptation. Growth hormone increased twofold from February to late March, and achieved plateau levels of 20 ng/ml in the period from mid-April to July and then gradually declined to 10 ng/ml in September and October. Plasma levels of growth hormone in seawater-acclimated fish were similar to those of freshwater coho, but with larger fluctuations; no increase was apparent during the first week of seawater acclimation. Plasma cortisol and plasma triiodothyronine increased at the same time as plasma growth hormone; increases in plasma thyroxine occurred later. In general, both growth hormone and cortisol levels were elevated when hypoosmoregulatory ability was high. Conversely, prolactin levels generally showed a negative relationship with hypoosmoregulatory ability.

Abstract
To obtain more information on the role of prolactin and growth hormone during the parr-smolt transformation of Atlantic salmon, a population of fish in fresh water was sampled from January to June during two consecutive years. Gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity increased steadily during smoltification and a plasma thyroxine peak was observed 2-3 weeks before the gill Na+,K+-ATPase peak. On the basis of these two parameters, smoltification was considered complete in our populations in April 1985 and May 1986. Two peaks in plasma growth hormone levels occurred in 1986, one in mid-April and the second in mid-May. In both cases, these peaks coincided with a peak in plasma triiodothyronine and preceded the thyroxine peak by 1-2 weeks. Moreover, the second peak which lasted for 1 month coincided with maximal gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity. A decrease in plasma prolactin levels was observed during smoltification of Atlantic salmon in 2 consecutive years. During this period of decreasing and low plasma prolactin levels, gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity increased to its highest values. Atlantic salmon smolts were also directly transferred into seawater. After 2 days or more in seawater, plasma prolactin levels were not significantly different from those on Day 0, whereas in fresh water they showed large fluctuations. All these data indicate that growth hormone may play an important role in the development of hypoosmoregulatory activity. Increased hypoosmoregulatory ability also appears to be associated with low prolactin levels.
