The influence of dietary fat concentration on fatty acid signatures and stable carbon isotopes of fatty acids in liver of Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens)
No full textA number of biomarker techniques have been employed to investigate animal diets, including analyses of fatty acid (FA) proportions and stable carbon isotopic signatures. Here, the influence of dietary FA concentrations on fish FA signatures and δ13C values of FA in fish liver was evaluated by feeding Atlantic pollock (Pollachius virens; n=108) three diets with different FA concentrations for 20 weeks. Calibration coefficients (CC) and discrimination factors were calculated to compare the FA profile and δ13C values of FA in liver to those of diet. Most CC showed significant variation across the three diets; however, a number of FA present in smaller proportions had CC that did not vary among the diets. Overall, the two CC sets derived from experiments utilizing feeds with the higher FA concentrations were very similar to each other and showed substantial variation compared to CC derived from feeding the diet with the lowest FA concentrations. Using Quantitative Fatty Acid Signature Analysis (QFASA) and the initial samples of pollock, the three sets of CC derived from fish fed the three treatment diets were applied to determine the influence of these three CC on diet estimates. The results indicated that QFASA may be less sensitive to variation in CC than previously assumed. Discrimination factors calculated using liver and diet δ13C values varied with dietary FA concentration for five of ten FA. Most discrimination factors for saturated and monounsaturated FA (MUFA) showed significant deviations from zero; in contrast, few discrimination factors for polyunsaturated FA (PUFA), specifically 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3, were significantly different than zero. These results suggest that δ13C values for PUFA sampled from a wild fish would closely mirror that of the prey consumed. Combined biomarker techniques, employing both FA proportions and δ13C values, may prove to be the most reliable in estimating diets of animals in the wild at this time

Derivation of speci W c epithet This species is named for the relatively elongate antennomeres on the holotype. Diagnosis, adult This species may be separated from its congeners by the following diagnostic combination: antennomeres relatively elongate, not distinctly transverse; lateral margins of pronotum evenly arcuate. Description, adult Characters of Physiomorphus, with the following speci®c features: Body very elongate (TL/GEW 3.75), parallel-sided. Head. Scape relatively elongate, sub®liform; antennomere 2 about half length of scape; antennomeres relatively elongate, 3±4 sub®liform; antennomeres 5±10 triangular, increasing in width to apex of antenna; antennomere 11 somewhat narrowed distally, without cleft; distal maxillary palpomere slightly expanded, securiform; eyes moderately large, widely separated. Pronotum relatively narrow (GPW /PL 1.35), only slightly wider than head (GPW / GHW 1.07); lateral margins of disc slightly arcuate, widest near midlength, slightly narrower at anterior margin than posterior; discal depressions relatively deep, distinctly de®ned; punctation shallow, non-umbilicate; setation uniform, sparse. Elytra moderately convex, without suggestions of costae; epipleuron traceable to ventrite 4, relatively evenly narrowed posteriorly; vestiture relatively sparse, not obscuring regular, coarse punctation; apical binding patch only slightly visible dorsally. Abdomen. Sexual setae golden-red, at least half length of V2, directed posteriorly at about 30ss angle; male genitalia with paramere with very deep sinuation, beginning in distal third. Colour. Head piceous on vertex and occiput, frons and mouthparts rufous; antennae piceous; prothorax entirely testaceous; elytra piceous, slightly lighter in colour than base of head; legs testaceous, with tarsi and distal half of tibiae slightly infuscated; meso- and metasternum and abdominal ventrites rufopiceous.Published as part of Pollock, D.

Lack of evidence of infectious salmon anemia virus in pollock Pollachius virens cohabitating with infected farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
No full textThe infectious salmon anemia (ISA) virus causes lethargy, anemia, hemorrhage of the internal organs, and death in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. It has been a cause of disease in Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon since 1984 and has since been identified in Canada, Scotland, the United States, and the Faroe Islands. Wild fish have been proposed as a viral reservoir because they are capable of close contact with farmed salmon. Laboratory studies have shown that brown trout and sea trout Salmo trutta, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, and herring Clupea harengus tested positive for the virus weeks after intra-peritoneal injection of the ISA virus. Pollock Pollachius virens are commonly found in and around salmon cages, and their close association with the salmon makes them an important potential viral reservoir to consider. The objective of this study was to determine the presence or prevalence of ISA virus in pollock cohabitating with ISA-infected farmed Atlantic salmon. Kidney tissue from 93 pollock that were living with ISA-infected salmon in sea cages were tested with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Results yielded the expected 193 bp product for positive controls, while no product was observed in any of the pollock samples, resulting in an ISA viral prevalence of 0%. This study strengthens the evidence that pollock are unlikely to be an ISA virus reservoir for farmed Atlantic salmon.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 8807037; ppublishSource type: Electronic(1
