In 1995 at a sea-farm in Ireland, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts from a freshwater hatchery were introduced in spring and autumn into two marine rearing sites, one with and one without a history of epizootic mortality believed due to parasitic encephalitis. No neurologic signs were observed, b...
