Dual Cannulation of Free-Swimming Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar

We describe a technique for enduring (>1 mo) dual cannulation of large, free-swimming Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. Repeated blood sampling is possible without disturbance of the fish and the technique is suitable for studies that involve administration of radiolabeled substances for kinetic...

Description
Summary:We describe a technique for enduring (>1 mo) dual cannulation of large, free-swimming Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. Repeated blood sampling is possible without disturbance of the fish and the technique is suitable for studies that involve administration of radiolabeled substances for kinetic and distribution volume measurements.
