Application of a real-time PCR assay to detect BK potassium channel expression in samples from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) acclimated to freshwater
Atlantic salmon(Salmo salar)and Rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss)are two fish species that spawn in fresh water (FW) and, during development, acclimate to seawater (SW) by secreting excess NaCl to the environment. The salmon industry measures Na+/K+ ATPase (NKA) activity as a molecular marker to de...

Atlantic salmon(Salmo salar)and Rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss)are two fish species that spawn in fresh water (FW) and, during development, acclimate to seawater (SW) by secreting excess NaCl to the environment.
