Article Synopsis
- In April and May 2015, reports emerged of dead and sick European eels in the River Dee and River Spey, prompting investigations into 10 cases that year and one in 2016.
- Symptoms in affected eels included white patches, and Flavobacterium psychrophilum was found in all tested cases, with certain isolates identified through advanced whole-genome sequencing.
- Despite detecting the pathogen, healthy wild fish tested negative for F. psychrophilum, highlighting the need for further research on the bacteria's effects on eel health and its potential implications for the salmon population.
