The first case of ISA during first feeding in Atlantic salmon fry is described. The presence of ISA virus is shown with the help of cell cultures (ASK-cells), IFAT, RT-PCR and transmission electron microscopy. The possibility that this may be a case of vertical transmission is discussed, but it is argued that the ISA virus may have entered the hatchery through an as yet unidentified route.
