Findings

• Greater expression in senescent salmon

116

Findings

• Greater expression in senescent salmon• Greater variation in expression of senescent

salmon

117

Findings

• Greater expression in senescent salmon• Greater variation in expression of senescent

salmon

118

Findings

• Greater expression in senescent salmon• Greater variation in expression of senescent

salmon• Significant differences detected for two genes:

TERT (aging) and Viperin (immune function)

119

Conclusions

• Strong response detected in immune function– Driving mechanism or associated process?

120

Conclusions

• Strong response detected in immune function– Driving mechanism or associated process?

• Telomerase activity represents senescence specific signal

121

Implications

• New assays can be used at any stage of the sockeye salmon life cycle

122

Implications

• New assays can be used at any stage of the sockeye salmon life cycle

• Telomere dynamics important for understanding variation in rates of senescence

Telomere Dynamics

Population 1 Population 2

124

Telomere Dynamics

Population 1 Population 2

• Fast senescence • Slow senescence

125

Telomere Dynamics

Population 1 Population 2

• Fast senescence• Low telomerase

126

Implications

• New assays can be used at any stage of the sockeye salmon life cycle

• Telomere dynamics important for understanding variation in rates of senescence

127

Implications

• New assays can be used at any stage of the sockeye salmon life cycle

• Telomere dynamics important for understanding variation in rates of senescence– Measure of life history diversity (rate of

senescence)

128

Motivations

• Improved fisheries management– Developing new management tools

• Understanding salmon mortality– Characterizing variability in senescence
