UK: CMS DISEASE FOUND IN SALMON FARMS
Article Abstract:
A disease which causes salmon to suffer heart failure has been discovered at one farm at least in Scotland, wiping out 60% of a total adult stock of 27,000. This is the first instance of CMS in the UK and took place in December 1997 and January 1998 in a west coast sea loch. Scotland's salmon farming industry is valued at GB[pound] 260mn and annual output is 120,000 tonnes. CMS is the third of three major disorders afflicting farmed salmon, the other two being infectious salmon anaemia and infestation, and originated in Norway, where over 100 farms were hit.
