Abstract
The effects of experimental transmissions of pancreas disease (PD) wer e compared in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta in fresh water. Only Atlantic salm on developed a total loss of exocrine pancreas acinar cells, which is used to diagnose PD. Brown trout were the least susceptible, exhibitin g focal necrosis in an otherwise normal-appearing pancreas. The effect in rainbow trout was intermediate between that seen in salmon and bro wn trout.
