Factors affecting dietary requirement and deficiency signs of L-tryptophan in rainbow trout
Two experiments were conducted to determine the concentration of dietary tryptophan needed for optimal growth and survival of fingerling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), to characterize signs of tryptophan deficiency, and to ascertain the effects of niacin on deficiency signs. Test diets containing either hydrolyzed or intact casein were fed with graded levels of added L-tryptophan (0.0, 0.25, 0.5

Myxosoma cerebralis (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) etiologic agent of salmonid whirling disease requires tubificid worm (Annelida: Oligochaetes) in its life cycle
Studies of the life cycle of Myxosoma cerebralis showed that development of infectivity did not occur endogenously but that the spore “aging” process required participation of an aquatic tubificid oligochaete. Data suggestive of such involvement were derived from trials in which spores were “aged” in an array of inert, sterilized, pasteurized, or natural aquatic substrates and from examination of

Plasma corticosteroid and chloride dynamics in rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, and lake trout during and after stress
Levels of plasma corticosteroids and chloride were studied in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) after 6 h of confinement in a shallow dipnet. Plasma corticosteroids increased more sharply in rainbow trout than in the other species during the confinement, and returned to resting levels more slowly. Plasma chloride levels decreased

Immunization of salmonids against the fish pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida
An avirulent strain of Aeromonas salmonicida was shown to lack “A-layer” protein exterior to the outer cell membrane, but was still immunogenic in fish. After bacteria were inactivated with chloroform, whole cells, soluble antigen and combined whole cell plus soluble antigen vaccines were prepared. Those brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) that were vaccinated by a 60-second immersion in the combi
