Rib abnormalities and their association with focal dark spots in Atlantic salmon fillets
Focal dark spots (DS) represent the most common quality problem in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). DS are predominantly located in the cranio-ventral region of the fillet, that is characterized by the presence of ribs. The current study explores the possible association between abnormal rib...

Focal dark spots (DS) represent the most common quality problem in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). DS are predominantly located in the cranio-ventral region of the fillet, that is characterized by the presence of ribs. The current study explores the possible association between abnormal rib morphology and DS types and the frequency of rib abnormalities in the rib cage by X-ray imaging. The fish used were salmon from a common smolt group that were sampled in freshwater (smolt farm) and subsequently two, five, eight and 14 months after sea transfer to small-scale land-based tanks or commercial sea-cages.
