CONT

A frequent complaint from indoor fish culture operations ... is the presence of severely abraded fins. Fin erosion is normally attributed to aggressive interactions between fish and/or physical contact with the walls in [overcrowded] tanks. We now have a new explanation for this common phenomenon in aquaculture facilities ... — the absence of sufficient exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR).

[...] les salmoniculteurs qui [...] élèvent [des poissons] dans des bassins intérieurs se plaignent souvent que leurs sujets souffrent d'une grave érosion des nageoires. L'érosion des nageoires est généralement attribuée aux comportements agressifs des poissons et/ou le contact avec les parois des bassins surpeuplés. Nous avons maintenant une nouvelle explication pour ce phénomène commun dans les installations d'aquaculture [...] — une exposition insuffisante au rayonnement ultraviolet.
