Project description:There is a paucity of information on the physiological changes that occur over the course of salmon early marine migration. Here we aim to provide insight on juvenile Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) physiology using the changes in gene expression (cGRASP 44K microarray) of four tissues (brain, gill, muscle, and liver) across the parr to smolt transition in freshwater and through the first eight months of ocean residence. We also examined transcriptome changes with body size as a covariate. The strongest shift in the transcriptome for brain, gill, and muscle occurred between summer and fall in the ocean, representing physiological changes that we speculate may be associated with migration preparation to feeding areas. Metabolic processes in the liver were positively associated with body length, generally consistent with enhanced feeding opportunities. However, a notable exception to this metabolic pattern was for spring post-smolts sampled soon after entry into the ocean, which showed a pattern of gene expression more likely associated with depressed feeding or recent fasting. Overall, this study has revealed life stages that may be the most critical developmentally (fall post-smolt) and for survival (spring post-smolt) in the early marine environment. These life stages may warrant further investigation.

Project description:Most Pacific salmonids undergo smoltification and transition from freshwater to saltwater. Saltwater acclimation requires salmonids to make various adjustments in color, shape, size, metabolism, catabolism, and osmotic and ion regulation. The molecular mechanisms underlying this transition are largely unknown. The present study acclimated coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) to four different salinities (<0.5, 8, 16, and 32 ppth) and assessed gene expression through microarray analysis of gill, liver and olfactory tissues. Gills are involved in osmotic regulation, liver plays a role in energetics, and olfactory tissues are involved in behavior. Between all salinity treatments, liver had the highest number of differentially expressed genes at 1,616. Gills had 1,074 differentially expressed genes and olfactory tissue had 924. The difference in the number of differentially expressed genes may be due to the higher responsiveness of liver to metabolic changes after salinity acclimation to provide energy to fuel other metabolic and osmoregulatory tissues like gills. Differentially expressed genes were tissue and salinity treatment dependent. There were no genes differentially expressed in all salinity treatments and all three tissues. Five genes were targeted for microarray confirmation by qPCR and included CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ? (CEBPB), calpain 1 (CAPN1), proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (Pim1), aldolase B, fructose-bisphosphate (aldob), and complement component 3 (c3). qPCR expression profiles of these genes matched array outputs. Gene ontology term analysis revealed biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components that were significant. Most terms were tissue dependent. For liver, oxygen binding and transport terms were highlighted, suggesting possible impacts on metabolism. For gills, muscle and cytoskeleton related terms were emphasized and for olfactory tissues, immune response related genes were accentuated. Interaction networks were examined in combination with GO terms and determined similarities between tissues for potential osmosenors and signal transduction cascades. Overall this study suggests that Pacific salmonids share many salinity acclimation molecular mechanisms with other species, with a few new genes identified, and that although the three tissues shared certain underlying mechanism, many of the differentially expressed genes were tissue-specific. To assess how salinity acclimation in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) impacted gene expression in gills, liver, and olfactory tissues.
