Abstract
Abstract Spores identified as Myxobolus neurobius were found in head homogenates of both wild young Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus. Formalin-preserved spores from Atlantic salmon measured an average of 12.9 × 9.4 μm and contained two polar capsules that measured 6.4 × 2.9 μm. The spores from the Arctic char appeared morphologically identical by bright-field microscopy to those from the Atlantic salmon except they measured 13.7 × 9.6 μm and had polar capsules that measured 6.9 × 3.4 μm. Myxobolus neurobius has not previously been reported from Atlantic salmon or Arctic char.
