Acute skeletal myopathy in farmed atlantic salmon salmo salar
This paper describes the clinical findings, histopathology and biochemistry of a significant disease affecting marine stage Atlantic salmon in Ireland, known as 'sudden death syndrome'. Pathological findings were located predominantly in the skeletal muscle and affected farms all had a his...
