Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Volume 4 Number 3: Epidemiology and Control of an Outbreak of Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia in Wrasse Around Shetland Commencing 2012

Report on an outbreak of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia in multiple stocked species of wrasse on six sea-water sites around Shetland Mainland commencing December 2012.


3 Wrasse Species Testing VHS Positive

One or more individuals for each of the five wrasse species (ballan, corkwing, cuckoo, goldsinny and rockcook) tested VHS positive. No other wrasse species were stocked. The prevalence of VHS positive individuals for each species has not been estimated because the targeted nature of sampling is likely to result in biased estimates.
