Abstract
DURING the spawning season of 1960–61 investigations were initiated in Ireland into the occurrence of furunculosis among spawning and spawned salmon. In that season 159 kelts were examined from four rivers; only one fish gave a positive reaction1. These investigations were continued during the spawning season of 1961–62 when 49 kelts were examined. All fish were dead when taken from the water. The distribution and results are given in Table 1.
