Småseidøden i 1974 - vibrose

Abstract

During autumn 1974 an epizootic of vibriosis occured in the young saithe population around the western Norwegian coast from Flekkefjord to Brønnøysund. Diseased fish showed skin lessions. From 10 to 100 % of fish with lessions were reported. Vibriosis is the most common disease in seafarming of salmonids in Norway, but the disease in the saithe population did not seem to affect the farm fish.
