Biochemistry of Atlantic Salmon skin emissions,

SALMON EMISSIONS
The papers below , dating from 2018 to  2005, describe the peptides and other signal molecules Atlantic Salmon   naturally emit , and their effect when released into the water column

All Salmonids continually emit a mixture of peptides and other biochemicals.  These  are breakdown products of the salmon's outer skin cells as they wear & their proteins dissolve.

These "peptides" (protein fragments) get  emitted  between the fishes' scales, then pass into their slime coats  for release into  the water  column.  Call it "dandruff with a purpose"
That skin hosts  a lively and healthy natural marine microbe community, too.

ESTROGEN POLLUTION DISRUPTS SMOLTING
Endocrine disruption of parr-smolt transformation and seawater tolerance of Atlantic salmon by 4-nonylphenol and 17 -estradiol  .
EXCERPT The results indicate that the parr-smolt transformation and salinity tolerance can be compromised by exposure to estrogenic compounds. Suppression of plasma IGF-I levels is a likely endocrine pathway for the eVects of estrogenic compounds on hypo-osmoregulatory capacity, and the detrimental effects of E2 and NP on thyroid hormone levels are also likely to compromise the normal parr-smolt transformation of Atlantic salmon.

* Enzyme inhibitory activity of low-molecular-weight peptides from Atlantic salmon  skin (Salmo salar.) Excerpt    (SSCP ="Salmon Skin Collagen Peptides )

A Total of eleven peptide sequences were identified, and two dipeptides, Ala-Pro and Val-Arg, were selected for further ACE inhibitory activity analysis. The ACE inhibitory activities of Ala-Pro (IC50 = 0.060 ± 0.001 mg/ml) and Val-Arg (IC50 = 0.332 ± 0.005 mg/ml) were found to be approximately 20- and 4-fold higher than that of SSCP (1.165 ± 0.087 mg/ml), respectively.
