Abstract
The organism causing sporadic outbreaks of a visceral disease of salmon parr in fresh water stocks of a fish farm was identified by histological examination as a Prototheca species. Cultures confirmed the diagnosis and the organism, which does not conform to the characteristics of known Prototheca spp., is described as a new species Prothotheca salmonis. Der Organismus, der sporadische Ausbrüche einer Eingeweide-Erkrankung in den in Süsswasser gehaltenen Vorratsbeständen atlantischer Seelachse einer Fischfarm hervorruft, wurde histologisch als Vertreter der Gattung Prototheca identifiziert, was mit Hilfe von Laboratoriumskulturen bestätigt werden konnte. Da der Erreger mit keiner der bekannten Arten übereinstimmt, wurde er als neue Art Prototheca salmonis beschrieben.Keywords
