Feeding after spawning and energy balance at spawning are associated with repeat spawning interval in steelhead trout

Laura E. Jenkins et al.

Summary: Seasonally breeding fishes commonly exhibit consecutive and skip repeat spawning, which are regulated by energetic status and impact fisheries management. This study on steelhead trout found that both energy balance at spawning and feeding after spawning determine the reproductive schedule, extending the critical period model of salmonid maturation into the first 10 weeks after spawning.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) age at maturity is strongly affected by temperature, population and age-at-maturity genotype

Eirik R. asheim et al.

Summary: Age at maturity in Atlantic salmon is greatly influenced by temperature and an age-at-maturity gene. The effect of temperature differs between populations, but the gene has a similar effect in both temperatures and populations. Age at maturity is important for population structures and involves a trade-off between survival risk and reproductive investment.

Genotype-specific variation in seasonal body condition at a large-effect maturation locus

Andrew H. House et al.

Summary: Organisms utilize resource allocation strategies to adapt to seasonal changes and life stage transitions. A transcription cofactor, vgll3, has been found to have an impact on maturation timing and body condition in mice and juvenile salmon. This study investigates the influence of larval and juvenile temperatures, vgll3 genotype, and their interactions with body condition and maturation rate in Atlantic salmon. The results suggest that vgll3 influences resource allocation strategies, with early maturing individuals having a higher maturation rate and body condition in the spring.

Environmental and Genetic (vgll3) Effects on the Prevalence of Male Maturation Phenotypes in Domesticated Atlantic Salmon

Thomas W. K. Fraser et al.

Summary: Pre-harvest male maturation of Atlantic salmon is regulated by both environment and genetics, such as vgll3. The study examined different vgll3 genotypes of salmon in three different environmental regimes and found that the maturation rate was highest under elevated temperature and continuous light conditions, while it was lowest under sea transfer conditions. Furthermore, a small percentage of phenotypic and genetic female salmon were found, and when crossed with XY male, they produced viable progeny with an equal sex ratio of approximately 50/50.

Precocious Maturation of Hatchery-Raised Spring Chinook Salmon as Age-2 Minijacks Is Not Detectably Affected by Sire Age

Peter F. Galbreath et al.

Summary: The study found that the age of natural-origin spring Chinook Salmon broodstock does not consistently affect the rate at which their hatchery-raised male progeny mature, with variability largely attributed to dam- and sire-specific effects. This suggests a heritable component to precocious maturation.

Stock-specific variation in the probability of precocious male maturation in hatchery Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Donald A. Larsen et al.

Summary: The age of maturation in salmonid species is phenotypically plastic and dependent on a genetically set threshold in growth. Hatchery supplementation programs that integrate natural-origin adults into broodstock can minimize differences between hatchery and wild fish and affect the life history of salmonids.

Effects of ozone on post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) performance, health, and maturation in freshwater recirculation aquaculture systems

John Davidson et al.

Summary: Ozone treatment in recirculation aquaculture systems can improve the growth rate and maturation of Atlantic salmon, although it may cause fin damage in the early stages of rearing. Overall, ozone did not inhibit the onset or prevalence of Atlantic salmon maturation, with significant improvements in water quality and salmon growth performance observed.
