Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The culture of salmonids represents just the 4.2% of the global seafood supply, but is one of the most profitable of the aquaculture industry around the world. Highly intensive and technically developed, the aquaculture industry of salmonids now requires  new approaches to find a continuous and sustainable growth. Thus, this Special Issue of Animals is focused on the culture and welfare of species of salmonids. Original manuscripts for this Special Issue are welcome, particularly those that cover the following subjects: (1) development of sustainable feeds for salmonid production; (2) culture process and stress on salmonids, including development and control of disease and parasitisms; and (3) general welfare of salmonids.

Salmonids of several species and other fishes can jump into the air from the water. This behavior has been used in net pen culture applications to control parasitic sea lice. The reasons that salmonids jump remain a topic for speculation. Research on these behaviors has focused on Atlantic salmon in net pen culture in Northwest Europe. Jumping in salmonids is a heterogeneous behavioral category with diverse functional outcomes. Additional research is needed from broad perspectives spanning indigenous and institutional science, cultural wisdom, and ethological direct observation. In theory and in practice, it is interesting that some salmonid jumping behavior may be a form of play. Full article
