Size-dependent resistance to amoebic gill disease in naïve Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Amoebic gill disease, caused by the protozoan ectoparasite Neoparamoeba perurans, remains a significant threat to commercial Atlantic salmon aquaculture operations worldwide, despite partial control afforded by selective breeding and therapeutic intervention. Anecdotal reports from commercial produc...

Zusammenfassung:Amoebic gill disease, caused by the protozoan ectoparasite Neoparamoeba perurans, remains a significant threat to commercial Atlantic salmon aquaculture operations worldwide, despite partial control afforded by selective breeding and therapeutic intervention. Anecdotal reports from commercial producers suggest that historically, smaller Atlantic salmon smolts are more susceptible to AGD than larger smolts. Here, large (>350 g) and small (
