Our study monitored Atlantic salmon osmoregulatory adaptations during smoltification under continuous light (LL) and winter signal regime (6 weeks LD 12:12) followed by 6 or 8 weeks of constant light. Fish were subsequently reared in seawater for 8 weeks and subjected to a stress event of cyclic hypoxia at the conclusion of the trial. Significant differences in growth trajectories were observed between the LL and LD groups, with fish receiving the winter signal showing compensatory growth after seawater transfer. Gill Na+\/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity, plasma ions, glucose, and cortisol levels confirmed the importance of the winter signal for seawater adaptation. Molecular markers, including nka isoforms, Na+-K+-2Cl\u2212 cotransporter (nkcc), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr), and Na+\/HCO3\u2212 cotransporter (nbc), showed distinct temporal expression patterns, particularly in gills and midgut. Notably, the LD group with delayed seawater transfer exhibited enhanced growth and improved hypo-osmoregulatory capacity. These findings underscore the advantages of a winter signal in smoltification and suggest that delaying seawater transfer for up to 8 weeks could be beneficial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fishes10030119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T05:46:52Z","timestamp":1741585612000},"page":"119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Integration of Gill and Intestinal Osmoregulatory Functions to Assess the Smoltification Window in Atlantic Salmon"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jon\u00e1s I.","family":"Silva-Marrero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6683-4882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Floriana","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"given":"Sigurd O.","family":"Handeland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"given":"Cindy","family":"Pedrosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-4482-4468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Virginie","family":"Gelebart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Balseiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ciencias Marinas de Andaluc\u00eda, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas (ICMAN-CSIC), 11519 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8789-0197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivar","family":"R\u00f8nnestad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]},{"given":"Ana S.","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen, 5020 Bergen, Norway"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1139\/d98-011","article-title":"Movement, Migration, and Smolting of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)","volume":"55","author":"McCormick","year":"1998","journal-title":"Can.
