Abrupt changes in photoperiod affect age at maturity, timing of ovulation and plasma testosterone and oestradiol-17 β profiles in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar

Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.), reared in sea cages for 18 months (age 36 months from hatching), were exposed to natural light (NL, 61°N), or continuous additional light from January (ALJ) or March (ALM) until July. On July 13, the fish were moved to indoor raceways with brackish water (2–19‰) an...

description Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.), reared in sea cages for 18 months (age 36 months from hatching), were exposed to natural light (NL, 61°N), or continuous additional light from January (ALJ) or March (ALM) until July. On July 13, the fish were moved to indoor raceways with brackish water (2–19‰) and ambient temperature (declining from 13.0 to 5.6°C). Fish from each treatment were subjected to either simulated natural photoperiod (SNP), continuous light (24L), or short photoperiod (8L=8 L:16D), creating a total of nine experimental groups with approx. 50 fish in each. The proportion of sexually maturing females was reduced from 91% in the NL groups, to 67% and 9% in the ALM and ALJ groups, respectively ( p≤0.005). A similar reduction was observed among the males, from 74% in the NL groups, to 57% and 16% in the ALM and ALJ groups, respectively ( p≤0.001). Ovulation commenced in late October in the control group (NL-SNP). Compared with control, median ovulation time was advanced by 5, 4 and 3 weeks in the ALM-8L, NL-8L and ALM-SNP groups, respectively, whereas ovulation was delayed by 1 and 6 weeks in the ALM-24L and NL-24L groups, respectively. The altered timing of ovulation among the groups was paralleled by similar shifts in the seasonal plasma oestradiol-17 β and testosterone profiles. Survival of eggs to the eyed stage was lower in the ALM-8L group (mean=64.2%) compared with the NL-SNP group (mean=92.5%), indicating a negative effect on egg quality in the most advanced group. Although abrupt changes in photoperiod can be used to control timing of ovulation in Atlantic salmon to obtain off-season eggs, the decrease in egg survival and proportion of maturing fish may set constraints on how much maturation can be advanced by use of continuous light during winter and spring. However, the effect on age at maturity may also be exploited to reduce the problem with unwanted early maturation in salmon farming.
