Salmonids in Aquaculture

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are the two most important salmonid species in global aquaculture. Their biology, growth performance, and adaptability have made them central to food production, research, and veterinary diagnostics. As high‑value species, maintaining health and welfare is essential, and early detection of disease processes is critical for producers, veterinarians, and other stakeholders.

We support farmers, veterinarians, feed companies, vaccine developers, and researchers by helping solve one case at a time. On the following pages, we highlight common diseases in salmonids and demonstrate how histology has contributed to diagnosis, understanding, and improved production outcomes. By comparing normal tissue with disease‑associated changes, histology provides valuable insight that can strengthen decision‑making, enhance welfare, and support long‑term production goals..

This webpage is under development, contact us today if you have tips or suggestions for how we can improve it send us a message: histo@histocompany.no
