Synopsis

The study of marine fish diseases has been directly related in its development to the significance of the fisheries or latterly aquaculture systems involved with epizootics. In this respect, Scotland has played a central role because of the importance of specific diseases of salmon which have been especially prevalent in Scotland, and the advanced state of its basic veterinary and medical expertise. This has been particularly important in the past, when very little information was available and extrapolation from higher animal studies was the only relevant approach.
