Seawater tolerance and gene expression in two strains of Atlantic salmon smolts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The seawater tolerance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts reared under identical hatchery conditions was assessed in two Norwegian strains: AquaGen and Imsa. Plasma ion levels were disrupted in both strains following seawater exposure, but these disruptions were more profound in the AquaGen fish. To investigate the mechanisms underlying these differences, we measured gill Na + ,K + -adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity and mRNA levels of Na + ,K + -ATPase α-subunit and two isoforms of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Gill Na + ,K + -ATPase activity rose significantly in both strains following seawater exposure. Both Na + ,K + -ATPase α-subunit and CFTR I mRNA levels were significantly elevated for the entire 2-week period following seawater exposure, whereas CFTR II levels were transiently elevated during the first 24 h only. There were no differences in enzyme activity or gene expression between strains, with the exception of CFTR II, which was significantly lower in the Imsa strain 2 weeks following seawater exposure. This suggests that although changes in mRNA and protein expression for these genes are associated with seawater transfer, they are not the basis of observed physiological differences between strains.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
