Description
Summary:Abstract. A fungal infection of Atlantic salmon parr (0 +) occurring at low water temperatures, principally in January, is reported from fish farm hatcheries in western Scotland. Clinical signs and histopathology of the disease are described, illustrated, discussed and compared with those of certain other fungal diseases of salmonids. The fungus, provisionally placed in the hyphomycete genus Phialophora is described and illustrated from pure culture, with a discussion of its taxonomic position.
