Aquafin CRC - Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Subprogram: development of selective enrichment culture-polymerase chain reaction (SEC-PCR) for the detection of bacterial pathogens in covertly infected farmed salmonid fish

Bacterial disease is a major cause of stock loss in aquaculture. The severity of infection may range from acute to chronic through to benign. This latter condition, termed covert infection, is insidious, as fish may appear to be outwardly healthy but during periods of stress, these carriers may...
