wfrc.usgs.gov — Anadromous salmonids are susceptible to a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, including at least 30 bacteria and viruses. Whereas the impact of these microorganisms on salmonids in wild and natural rearing areas is difficult to measure, losses from disease among hatchery salmonids are both common and well documented. The immunology laboratory More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Salmonid species in the Pacific Northwest continue to decline despite management efforts to mitigate the effects of development of the Columbia River basin and power system. Altered fish species diversity and changes in the aquatic habitat have created the need for research to determine the status, life history, and habitat requirements of at risk More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Viral infections are common causes of disease outbreaks and mortalities in both wild and captive fish populations. Due to the long history of virus outbreaks there is a substantial body of knowledge about viruses within the field of fish pathology. This project involves research and development studies which create, modify and apply modern More...
