Histopathology associated with pyridoxine deficiency in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

January 1, 1985

Fingerling Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar) fed a production diet deficient in pyridoxine showed several significant effects: increased mortality; behavioral changes; degenerative changes in kidneys, ovaries, and liver; a paucity of thyroid colloid; and hyperplasia of renal hematopoietic tissue. Changes in nerve tissue were equivocal.
