Researchers reveal the infectious impact of salmon farms on wild salmon
A new study published in the March 30th edition of the prestigious scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B (a publication of the UK's national academy of science) shows that the transfer of parasitic sea lice from salmon farms to wild salmon populations is much larger and more extensive than previously believed. This quantitative analysis of parasite transfer is a scientific...Alaskan puzzles, monitoring provide insight about North Pacific salmon runs
The University of Washington Alaska Salmon Program, the world's longest-running effort to monitor salmon and their ecosystems, has received nearly $2.4 million from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to expand its sampling scope and sophistication. The Alaska-based program has applications for Pacific salmon all along the West Coast, providing insights into the fluctuating fortunes of s...To sea or not to sea: When it comes to salmon sex, size sometimes doesn't matter
The ones that stay and the ones that stray are biological puzzles among Pacific salmon, of whom the vast majority ?but not all ?travel thousands of miles to sea and back to the streams where they hatched. There are chinook salmon populations in Idaho in which an occasional male stays put and matures when only 6 inches long ?that is, he's able to fertilize eggs at even that diminutive size,...Divergent life history shapes gene expression in brains of salmon
Scientists working with salmon have found that gene expression in the brain can differ significantly among members of a species with different life histories. Their study indicates that roughly 15 percent of Atlantic salmon genes show differential expression in males who migrate from their freshwater birthplaces to mature in oceans versus those who do not leave the freshwater environment to matur...Mouse Anti-Salmonella typhimurium Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 6331 from GeneTex
Description:Mouse monoclonal [6331] to Salmonella typhimurium The genus Salmonella is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The genus is composed of Gram-negative bacilli that are facultative and flagellated (motile). Salmonellae possess 3 major antigens; the "H" or flagellar antigen (phase 1 & 2), the "O" or somatic antigen (part of the LPS moiety) and the "Vi" or capsular antigen (referred to...Goat Anti-Salmonella, CSA-1 Polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated from KPL

Description:Screening test for the detection of Salmonella sp. by means of DNA amplification, subsequent molecular hybridization and detection on a microtitre plate....Salmon Fish Benefits: Which Kind Is Better?
Salmon is considered a health food by many, because of its omega-3 fatty acids and, less significantly, its protein. A study compared the benefits of farmed (mostly Atlantic salmon) and wild salmon fish// (mostly pacific salmon). Farmed salmon or Atlantic salmon, are contaminated with more environmental pollutants such as mercury, PCBs, and dioxins compared to Pacific salmon, mostly f...Salmon's own diet sure to affect yours
A STUDY by American scientists has sparked new fears over the safety of Scottish farmed salmon by warning people that they should eat no more than two portions a year.// Researchers at the University at Albany, part of New York State University, concluded that the health benefits of eating Scottish fish are outweighed by risks caused by pollutants. Where the salmon comes fr...With a healthy heart stick to the wild salmon
In a study related to health risk or benefit analysis it has been found that unless heart disease is a risk factor wild salmon is better than farmed salmon // . The reasoning put forth is that although farmed salmon is richer in omega 3 fatty acids it also has a large amount of chemical contaminants. These chemicals are known to be a cause of cancer, memory impairment and neuro...Roma tomatoes the culprits for salmonella infection
Normally salmonella infectins are caused by non veg items but now roam tomatoes have been found to cause them//. US govt has now revealed that three outbreaks in 2004 were caused by this agent. The three outbreaks took their toll on health of people and caused havoc. The link was establoished when it was found that all outbreaks occured due to the common food item th...Salmonella Affected Cases Rises to 31
Since March a strain of Salmonella Montevideo has infected thirty one people and three of them including a baby and a child have been hospitalized //, said the Health Protection agency. The Agency is probing the increased number of cases. The chocolate maker Cadbury had withdrawn about a million chocolate bars after contamination in the lot produced in one of its factories....Salmonella Typhi Antigen - Rapid Test
