Abstract

FROM July 27 to August 17, 1964, 17 salmon were found dead among about 40 fish impounded at Ceannacroc on the Moriston, a tributary of the River Ness. Eight salmon examined between August 1 and 14 showed typical symptoms of furunculosis, and pure cultures of the causative organism, Bacterium salmonicida, were isolated from the internal organs and muscle. As a serious outbreak of furunculosis had occurred in this impoundment and at another impoundment on the Ness system in 1963, an attempt was made to control the outbreak which seemed to threaten this year.
