Further studies on acquired resistance to amoebic gill disease (AGD) in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
Abstract Trials were designed to test the efficacy of freshwater treatments for amoebic gill disease (AGD) of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., and the effect they had on the acquisition of resistance to reinfection with AGD. The first trial involved fish being given an industry‐simulated freshwater...
