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.
