additional information thiaminase activity of undigested Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) found in Baltic salmon (Salmo salar) stomachs is significantly higher than that of trawl-caught Baltic herring from the same sea area, suggesting that there may be a higher risk of predation for Baltic herring with high thiaminase activity, possibly linked to their health. Thiaminase activity of the gastrointestinal contents of Baltic salmon, feeding almost entirely on Baltic herring in the Gulf of Bothnia, is significantly higher than for Baltic salmon feeding on both Baltic herring and sprat in the Gulf of Bothnia. Therefore, Baltic herring may be the major source of thiaminase for Baltic salmon. A tank experiment demonstrates that thiaminase activity in Baltic herring may vary, even within very short time periods Clupea harengus
