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.
