[Fish diseases in Switzerland. A statistical evaluation of the diagnostic material of the Fish Research Institute from 1979-1988. II. Special aspects].
The frequency of fish diseases diagnosed at the Fish Disease Laboratory at the University of Berne from 1979 to 1988 is presented. Parasitic infections have been found to be the most frequent diagnosis. Among noninfectious diseases poisonings were predominant. Six infectious diseases have been considered to be economically relevant. These diseases (according to their frequency: Gyrodactylosis, Costiosis, Ichthyophthiriosis, Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS), Saprolegniosis and Furunculosis) were further analysed. Their incidence varies with season, species, origin and length of fish. Possible explanations for these findings are discussed.
