Summary: | Series of differential interference contrast microscopy (DIC) videos of primary keratocytes from Atlantic salmon scales acquired at room temperature (RT). The salmon from Kårvika (Tromsø Aquaculture Research Station) was about 1 kg +- 0.4 kg of either sex or smolt (about 10 to 15 cm long). The triploid salmon was > 1 kg and from a fish farm at Senja. The fish and cells were untreated. Unless specifically mentioned, the videos were acquired as single panels (field-of-view (FOV) 668 µm^2) 5 seconds apart for up to 20 hours, or larger areas (multiple panels (typically 4 by 4) of a combined FOV 2.7 mm^2) 2 minutes apart for up to 24 hours. The aim of the study was to investigate salmon skin cell dynamics, which are important to the innate immunity of fish.
