Abstract
INFECTIOUS pancreatic necrosis (IPN), a highly contagious viral disease of young trout, endemic in wild salmonids and some trout farms in the United States, and first recorded in Europe in 19651, has now been positively identified as causing an epizootic of rainbow trout fry (Salmo gairdneri) in a Scottish trout farm during February and March this year.
