Abstract
The immunological responses predicted the fate of the fish since nearly all the initial responses were lower in individuals which later died from cold water disease than in survivors. Fish died from furunculosis had impaired respiratory burst (RB) response to A. salmonicida. Fish that had initially the highest responses survived in the outbreak and challenges. The outbreak and challenges resulted in these individuals higher and faster responses compared with initial values. Unlike in mammals, the number of monocytes, but not that of granulocytes, in rainbow trout blood correlated well with the whole blood RB activity. The fish families differed markedly from each other in capacity to resist the induced diseases. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
