Pancreas disease has cost the Norwegian and Irish aquaculture industries over 70m Euros in recent years, the UK’s top aquaculture conference has been told.

Hamish Rodger, a leading fish vet, told Aquaculture Today 2005 that the disease had caused serious losses.

Pancreas disease destroys the muscles and heart of fish and can cause SDS – sudden death syndrome.

Aquaculture Today 2005 is organised by Fish Farmer magazine.

It is being held in Edinburgh and will finish tomorrow. (Thursday 14th)
