Abstract
The indirect fluorescent antibody technique demonstrated the enzootic nature of bacterial kidney disease in 224 of the 605 wild salmonids sampled from the Margaree River system and some adjacent waters. Asymptomatic infections were observed in 33.4% of 456 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and 35.1% of 37 returning adults in samples taken from the source of the Margaree River to and including saltwater areas off the coast. Key words: kidney disease, Atlantic salmon, wild, distribution, fluorescent antibodyKeywords
