A mortality event in wrasse species (Labridae) associated with the presence of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus
Abstract Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) is an infectious disease of farmed and wild fish and has an extensive host range in both freshwater and marine environments. In December 2012, a wrasse population consisting of ballan, Labrus bergylta (Ascanius), corkwing, Symphodus melops (L.), cuckoo,...
