Use of functional feeding strategies to protect Atlantic salmon from virally-induced inflammatory diseases- mechanistic insights revealed by transcriptomic analysis
Over the past few years one of the major concerns in the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farming industry has been the increasing incidence and severity of inflammatory viral diseases. Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) and cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) are currently two of the most prevale...

Over the past few years one of the major concerns in the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farming industry has been the increasing incidence and severity of inflammatory viral diseases.
