A cohort study was initiated in the spring of 2006 to investigate epidemiological aspects and patho-genesis of salmonid alphavirus (SAV) subtype 3 infections and pancreas disease (PD).

Fish groups from 46 different Atlantic salmon freshwater sites in six counties were sampled once prior to seawater transfer and followed onto their seawater sites.
