Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS into the occurrence of furunculosis among spawning or spawned salmon were undertaken in Scotland during the spawning seasons of 1958–59 and 1959–601. In the former season 96 salmon kelts were examined and 85 of these had furunculosis; in the latter season, up to the time of going to press, 9 out of 24 kelts examined had furunculosis. In the same season 14 kelts were examined in England and Wales and 11 of these gave a positive reaction.
