Project description:Transcripts of the gill epithelium from three different stocks of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) migrating from freshwater river to lake (Saimaa stock, SS), brackish water (Neva stock, NS) or seawater (Teno stock, TS) were compared at three successive developmental stages (parr, smolt and postsmolt) using the 16K GRASP cDNA microarray platform.
Project description:This study aims to understand the molecular adaptation mechanisms of fish gills to environmental Ca2+ changes. Using SuperSAGE, we compared the gene expression profiles of T. nigroviridis gills transferred from natural brackish water (10 ppt salinity,2.9 mM Ca2+) to artificial brackish water with control (2.9 mM), low (0.01 mM) or high (10 mM) Ca2+ concentrations for 2 or 12h.
