Assessment of Oxygen, Temperature and Salinity on Atlantic Salmon Broodstock Maturation
P-04-04-005
Description
The British Columbia Atlantic salmon farming industry relies on quality gametes from broodstock resident in British Columbia. It is suspected by the salmon farming industry that low oxygen levels in sea pen broodstock holding facilities may be adversely affecting the maturation process and causing poor egg quality and larval abnormalities. Therefore, this project will examine the interaction of key broodstock water quality conditions (i.e. oxygen, temperature, and salinity) with broodstock maturation and egg production.
