Disease Interactions Between Wild and Cultured Salmonids

Project Report of April 1999 to March 2000

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Western Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: March 31, 2000

No one has previously compiled the reported historical data on presence of pathogens in populations of free ranging and cultured salmonids on a large geographic scale. Retrieval of these data is an important first step to understanding the dynamics of fish diseases, and the interactions among wild and cultured fish. By examining the strengths and weakness of existing data, and posing conceptual models for the important pathogens, we will identify data sets that are complete enough to model epidemiology, and begin to estimate the risks of transmission between free ranging and cultured fishes. By this process we will determine the additional data needs for research and monitoring of pathogens to better understand the risks that fish diseases and their potential transmission pose to the aquaculture industry and to the natural resources communities. Finally, these scientific based models and presentations of data will help the regulatory community to review and propose better methods for protecting and regulating the aquaculture industry and natural resource community.
