2024-04-01
Abstract excerpt
The vitamin D endocrine system is required for the transcriptional regulation of a myriad of vertebrate genes including those involved in bone health, growth, nutrient metabolism and immunity. The requirements of salmonids for vitamin D are amongst the highest for any aquaculture species. With nuances, the metabolism of the pre-vitamin cholecalciferol (D₃) via calcifediol (25-OH-D₃), required to produce the physio...
