Physiological and biochemical basis of salmon young fihes migratory behavior
Journal Title: Journal of Coastal Life Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The review presents data on structural changes, physiological and biochemical reactions occurring at salmon young fishes during smoltification. It is shown, that young salmon fishes located in fresh water, in the process of smoltification undergo a complex of structural, physiological and biochemical changes directed on preparation of the organism for living in the sea. These changes cause stress reaction which excites young fishes to migrate down the river towards the sea. Measures to improve reproduction of young salmon fishes at fish farms are offered.
