Abstract

In 1939 Lepeophtheirus salmonis infected salmon entering Moser river, Nova Scotia. Some fish had much of skin in occipital region removed and died some time after entering fresh water. It is suggested that these copepods cause the condition on the top of the salmon's head known as "white spot."
