摘要: The salinity tolerance of the freshwater monogenean Gyrodactylus salaris, infecting Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr, was studied experimentally. Following direct transfer infected fish from fresh water to 5.0‰ salinity, parasite population growth increased at same rate as in and positively correlated with temperature (1.4, 6.0, 12.0°C). In 7.5‰ populations declined became extinct after a maximum 56 days, without any significant difference between 6.0 12.0°C. However, some infrapopulations demonstrated short periods growth. At higher salinities (10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 33.0‰) survival time decreased, there negative correlation When transferred directly sea (33.0‰) parasites opaque ceased moving few minutes. There no gradual 7.5 10.0‰, except for one infrapopulation which day 22 fluctuations following 7.5‰. present findings support hypothesis brackish dispersal G. salaris migrating rivers fjord systems.
