Changes in serum parameters of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, and Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., infected with Renibacterium salmoninarum
Abstract. Bacterial kidney disease was induced experimentally in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, and Atlantic salmon, S. salar L., and selected serum parameters measured over a 35‐day period.

| Summary: | Abstract. Bacterial kidney disease was induced experimentally in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, and Atlantic salmon, S. salar L., and selected serum parameters measured over a 35‐day period. In those fish which became infected a significant increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and in the serum levels of bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen and potassium were recorded. A significant decrease in total serum protein, cholesterol and sodium also occurred in these fish. Electrophore‐tic analysis of serum proteins showed the fast migrating fraction was reduced before the slower migrating material in infected fish. |
