Abstract

Smoltification in salmonids being a complex change engineered by its endocrine is geared towards the adaptive migration from freshwater into saltwater for development is a very important aspect in its life cycle. The understanding of this phenomenal is however paramount for the ensured optimal productivity and sustainability of this unique fish species (salmonids) in culture systems. Hence this study reviewed on the basic factors that influence the smoltification process as well as the relevance of the knowledge to salmonid farming.
