Identification, evolution and expression of three olfactory gene families in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

It has been hypothesized that salmonids use olfactory cues to return to their natal rivers and streams. However, the key components of the molecular pathway involved in imprinting and homing are still unknown. If odorants are involved in salmon homing migration then olfactory receptors should play a...
