The disease can cause a fungal infection and death of wild Atlantic salmon stock

Dr Paddy Gargan, senior research officer at Inland Fisheries Ireland, said 'red skin disease' has been recorded in the Corrib system in Galway and the River Leannan in Co Donegal.

The disease shows as discolouration, bleeding and ulceration on the underbelly and near the mouth of the fish and is easily visible on infected stock. Dr Gargan said the disease can cause a fungal infection and death of wild Atlantic salmon stock, which are already fragile and endangered in Ireland.Dr Gargan said infected fish would be visible in pools, would be lethargic and showing the signs of discoloured skin.
