Risk factors for spinal deformities in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
Abstract Risk factors for spinal deformities or short tails in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., were examined in a cohort study in Hordaland County of Norway, in which 177 slaughter groups consisting of 5000 salmon were followed from sea water introduction in April 1994 until slaughter in February 1...
