Abstrakt: This article discusses the basibranchial structure and its impact on cardiac morphology in Atlantic salmon. The study finds that farmed salmon often experience structural abnormalities in their hearts, which may be caused by intensive breeding programs and stressful farming practices. These abnormalities can lead to cardiac collapse and increased mortality, particularly during treatments against sea lice. The article also highlights the importance of understanding optimal cardiac function in order to address these issues. The authors suggest that the basibranchial cartilaginous structure may play a role in altering the shape and function of the ventricle, negatively affecting the heart's performance. However, further research is needed to fully understand the causes and implications of these findings. [Extracted from the article]
