What will happen to my smolt at harvest? Individually tagged Atlantic salmon help to understand possible progression and regression of vertebral deformities
Vertebral deformities can impair health, welfare, and product quality in farmed Atlantic salmon. Deformities detected early in the production cycle raise questions about their further development: which types of deformities will progress and which types of deformities will worsen over time?

To study this, Atlantic salmon parr (start experimental feeding weight 13.5 g) were fed diets with low (6.8 g/kg), regular (10.0 g/kg), or high (13.0 g/kg) total dietary P for 11 weeks to provoke deformities.

Deformities detected early, in freshwater, which affected the vertebral centra but not the intervertebral joints, could fully recover in seawater. These involved low-mineralised vertebrae, single vertically shifted vertebrae, hyper-dense vertebrae (HDV), and two or three adjacent vertebrae with compression-related deformities. HDV were provoked by low dietary P but disappeared in seawater. Fusions were either contained (two to three vertebrae) (stable vertebral fusions) or progressed (more than three vertebrae) (progressive vertebral fusions). Vertical shifts, fusions, and compressions could also have a late-onset in seawater but did not develop into severe deformities in harvest size animals. In conclusion, low-mineralised vertebrae and HDV are abundant in animals with LP diet history but can recover in seawater. The frequency of all other types of deformities was not significantly different among animals of different diet history groups. Under the current experimental conditions, a period of high or low dietary P in freshwater had no significant effect on the prevalence of early- or late-onset deformities at harvest.
