Factors affecting variation in mortality of marine Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in Scotland
Databases of site production have an important role to play in the investigation and understanding of diseases, since they store valuable amounts of disease and management data. Diseases pose an important constraint to economic expansion of aquaculture. They are dependent on the complex interacting...
