Reduced Numbers of Returning Atlantic Salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) and Thiamine Deficiency Are Both Associated with the Consumption of High-Lipid Prey Fish by Marja Keinänen, Jari Raitaniemi, Jukka Pönni, Tiina Ritvanen, Timo Myllylä, Pekka J. Vuorinen

“…In 2023, exceptionally few salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) ascended from the Baltic Sea to spawn in the Rivers Tornionjoki and Simojoki, regardless of the proper number of smolts descending to the sea in preceding years. We investigated how the numbers of age-0 and young herring (<i>Clupea harengus</i>) and sprat (<i>Sprattus sprattus</i>), which are the principal prey species of salmon in the Baltic Proper, the main feeding area of these salmon, as well as the amount of lipid obtained from them and their protein-to-lipid ratio, correlated with the number of returning salmon and the thiamine (vitamin B1) status of spawning salmon. …”
