Summary: The study reveals that Piscine orthoreovirus genotype-1 (PRV-1) widely infects farmed Atlantic salmon in British Columbia, but its correlation with heart inflammation is limited.

Summary: Dr. Avendano-Herrera's comments on our review are mostly marginal and do not weaken our hypothesis. We believe that infections caused by P. salmonis can be prevented by improving husbandry practices, and that excessive use of antimicrobials is detrimental to health.

Summary: Transmission of infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) in seawater can be detected through analysis of ISAV RNA, with viral shedding peaking before fish mortality. The combination of an electronegatively charged filter with lysis buffer shows significantly higher detection of ISAV RNA in seawater samples.

Summary: The study demonstrated the production of PMCV VLP antigen in plants and its effectiveness in triggering innate immunity and reducing viral replication and inflammatory lesions in experimented salmon. This suggests that plant-made VLP antigens could be a potential platform for developing a CMS vaccine against PMCV.

Summary: After fifty years of salmon farming, the study found that genetic introgression from farmed escapees can accelerate the growth rate of wild Atlantic salmon and lead to earlier seaward migration and sexual maturity, with significant variation among populations. Additionally, variation at major-effect loci associated with age at maturity was minimally affected by farmed genetic ancestry.

Summary: Global expansion of aquaculture and agriculture has facilitated disease emergence and transmission to sympatric wildlife populations, critically impacting wild salmon stocks. Research suggests that the development of Atlantic salmon aquaculture has played a key role in the spread of PRV-1 from Europe to the North and South East Pacific, highlighting the significant impact of aquaculture on wild salmon populations.

Summary: This study determined that turkey poults at 28 days of age or younger are susceptible to TARV infection and infected birds can transmit the virus to non-infected birds of the same age.

Summary: The nonvirulent infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV-HPR0) causes prevalent and transient infections in all three production stages of Atlantic salmon in the Faroe Islands. Different HPR0 subgroups dominate in different stages of production, and vertical transmission of HPR0 from broodfish to progeny is uncommon.

Summary: This study reveals the association of Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) with HSMI and jaundice syndrome in coho salmon in Chile. Two variants of PRV-3 were identified, with PRV-3a being the predominant variant in recent years. Unique genetic characteristics were also found in the PRV-3 sequences from Chile. These findings emphasize the need for further research on the link between PRV and jaundice syndrome in coho salmon.

Summary: The study revealed that the introduction of growth-enhanced fish into the wild may have impacts on ecosystem functioning. Therefore, environmental impact assessments of growth-enhanced organisms should explicitly consider ecosystem-level effects.

Summary: In this study, the researchers found that two highly conserved phenylalanine residues in the alphavirus E1 glycoprotein are critical for fusion of viral and host cell membranes and viral entry into target cells.

Summary: The study highlights the inconsistency in defining "offshore" aquaculture and the perception among stakeholders in Scotland regarding the key characteristics of offshore environments. While some stakeholders consider wave exposure as the main feature, existing regulations are deemed inadequate for offshore salmon production. This emphasizes the need for a consistent terminology and potential modifications to regulations in order to support offshore aquaculture development.

Summary: This study examines the role of certification and sustainable seafood ranking programs in maintaining ecosystem services and supporting EAA, finding that while a range of ecosystem services are reflected in sustainability scheme criteria, attributes supporting resilience capacity, enhancement of ecosystem services, and cost-benefit analysis for salmon farming are limited.

Summary: This study compared the skin and gill microbiome of diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon, finding that ploidy can impact the microbial composition of the gills but not the skin-associated microbiome. Diploid salmon infected with SAV3 showed greater histopathological signs of epitheliocystis compared to triploid fish. The results suggest that ploidy may play a role in Atlantic salmon gill health and provide insights into co-infection with SAV3 and C. Branchiomonas.
