Abstract
Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, farming is one of the most economically important industries within aquaculture. The production of this livestock has, in recent times, exhibited an unprecedented growth, in terms of food production; rising from an estimated 13,300 tonnes in 1982 to 1,5 million in 2011 and in light of current global population growth is projected to keep growing. However, in order for growth to continue in such a fashion a number of obstacles must be overcome. Whilst these include a number of logistical issues arguably from an ecological and economic view one of the largest problems salmon production, and indeed aquaculture as a whole, faces is that of disease.
