Article Abstract
The properties of gelatin derived from fish processing by-products, such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin, are strongly influenced by the drying method used during production. This study investigated the impacts of four drying methods on the extraction yield, physicochemical attributes, and gel characteristics of gelatin: freeze-dried gelatin (FDG), spray-dried gelatin (SDG), vacuum-dried gelatin (VDG), and hot air-dried gelatin (HDG) extracted from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin. The yields of FDG, VDG, and HDG were similar (15.75-16.45 g/100 g; p > 0.05), and significantly higher than that of SDG at 13.23 g/100 g (p < 0.05). Proximate analysis revealed that protein was the predominant component (94.60-95.03 g/100 g), with low fat (2.35-2.78 g/100 g) and ash (2.24-2.47 g/100 g) contents. SDG had the greatest lightness, followed by FDG, VDG, and HDG (p < 0.05), while HDG and VDG displayed more brownish, yellowish, and reddish colors. FDG exhibited the highest gel strength and viscosity, comparable to SDG (p > 0.05), while HDG had the lowest (p < 0.05). VDG showed the lowest turbidity, followed by FDG, HDG, and SDG (p < 0.05). All samples exhibited predominant α- and β-chains. FTIR spectra revealed similar patterns across all samples, with major peaks in the amide region. Overall, spray drying demonstrated strong potential as a practical and scalable alternative to freeze drying for gelatin production, offering high whiteness, desirable gel strength, and favorable viscosity while supporting sustainable applications in food and industrial sectors.

Recent years have seen advances in clinical biochemistry of domestic animals which have highlighted comparative differences between species and have also identified fundamental aspects of the biochemical mechanisms in physiological conditions and disease, that have implications across species, including human, health and welfare. From investigations in diverse species using biochemical, immunological, proteomic and metabolomic approaches a series of species particularities and unexpected results for some biomarkers have been made. These observations cover (1) the differences between species in the acute phase protein (APP) response to infection and inflammation; (2) the non-hepatic synthesis and release in the mammary gland, adipose tissue and intestine of APP (3) the response of haptoglobin (HP) as a biomarker for stress; (4) observations in non-mammalian species related to hemopexin and HP; (5) the response of bile acids in milk to mastitis; (6) barley serine protease inhibitors being identified in bovine faeces; (7) alkaline phosphatase being present in bovine nasal secretion; (8) saliva findings with analytes such as adenine deaminase showing different activity between saliva and serum and a detergent-like surfactant protein, latherin being found in equine saliva and sweat and (9) serum enzymes and selective muscle protein reaction of Atlantic salmon as an example of the differences in biochemistry between terrestrial and aquatic species.

Atlantic salmon is among the most widely farmed species globally. The large-scale cultivation of salmon inevitably results in the emergence of diverse diseases, highlighting the critical need to investigate host-pathogen interaction. While numerous transcriptomic analyses have been reported for infected Atlantic salmon, there is a notable lack of comprehensive studies directly comparing transcriptomic responses across different pathogens.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture is a major industry in several countries worldwide and a growing enterprise in others. One of the main challenges the industry faces is infestations with the parasitic copepod Lepeoptheirus salmonis, or salmon lice. Several different chemical and mechanical methods are available for alleviating the problem, but often at cost to salmon welfare and/or the environment.

Inbreeding and the associated increase in homozygosity and potential accumulation of deleterious alleles may reduce fitness in a process known as inbreeding depression. Mechanisms to mitigate reproduction between close relatives, ranging from pre-mating mate choice to post-mating gamete selection, have evolved across taxa. In external fertilisers like Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), where females have limited control over paternity, mechanisms of inbreeding avoidance can be expected to evolve at the gamete level.
