Surmounting evidence supports that infectious agents play a critical role in shaping fish
physiology, behaviour, and survival. The exclusion of disease-causing agents from fisheries …

Recent decades have seen an increased appreciation for the role infectious diseases can
play in mass mortality events across a diversity of marine taxa. At the same time many …

Juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in British Columbia migrate past numerous
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farms from which they may acquire infectious agents. We …

Salmon farming has multiplied from a side business of coastal farmers to one of the world's
major aquaculture species. This has dramatically altered the disease dynamics between …

Rapid expansion of salmon aquaculture has resulted in high-density populations that host
diverse infectious agents, for which surveillance and monitoring are critical to disease …

Wild Pacific salmonids (WPS) are economically and culturally important to the Pacific North
region. Most recently, some populations of WPS have been in decline. Of hypothesized …

The purpose of the study was to describe spatial and time-at-sea patterns of endemic and
new infectious agents and histopathologically-identified lesions in dead-and-dying farmed …

Infectious diseases may contribute to declines in Fraser River Sockeye salmon
(Oncorhynchus nerka) stocks, but a clear knowledge gap exists around which infectious …

Infectious diseases are potential contributors to decline in Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus
kisutch) populations. Although pathogens are theoretically considered to pose higher risk in …

Infectious agents are key components of animal ecology and drivers of host population
dynamics. Knowledge of their diversity and transmission in the wild is necessary for the …
