A longitudinal study of amoebic gill disease on a marine atlantic salmon farm utilising a real-time pcr assay for the detection of neoparamoeba perurans
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2015-11-18)Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a proliferative gill disease of marine cultured Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, with the free-living protozoan Neoparamoeba perurans being the primary aetiological agent. The increased incidence ... -
Can biosecurity and local network properties predict pathogen species richness in the salmonid industry?
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-01-30)Salmonid farming in Ireland is mostly organic, which implies limited disease treatment options. This highlights the importance of biosecurity for preventing the introduction and spread of infectious agents. Similarly, the ... -
Detection of salmonid alphavirus rna in celtic and irish sea flatfish
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2014-04-23)Pancreas disease (PD) caused by the salmonid alphavirus (SAV) has been the most significant cause of mortalities in Irish farmed salmon Salmo salar L. over the past decade. SAV is a single-strand positive-sense RNA virus, ... -
Embedding stock assessment within an integrated hierarchical bayesian life cycle modelling framework: an application to atlantic salmon in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-02-13)We developed a hierarchical Bayesian integrated life cycle model for Atlantic salmon that improves on the stock assessment approach currently used by ICES and provides some interesting insights about the population dynamics ... -
Molecular differentiation of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus isolates from farmed and wild salmonids in ireland
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-12-01)This study investigated the genotypes and sub-groups of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) present in farmed and wild salmonid fish in Ireland. An 1100-bp portion of the VP2 region of segment A from each of 55 ... -
Salmon lice - impact on wild salmonids and salmon aquaculture
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-01-13)Salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, are naturally occurring parasites of salmon in sea water. Intensive salmon farming provides better conditions for parasite growth and transmission compared with natural conditions, ...
