Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus in Young Salmonids of the Canadian Maritime Provinces

Abstract

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus was isolated from young salmonids, including Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar), in 9 of the 13 fish culture stations of the Canadian Maritime Provinces. The virus was isolated in tissue culture and identified serologically. There was no evidence of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (Egtved disease).
