A mild state of bacterial kidney disease was induced in juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) via exposure to the infective agent in water from an adult sockeye salmon (O. nerka). As determined by toxicity tests, the susceptibility of the infected coho salmon to the toxic action of sodium pentachlorophenate was significantly greater than for uninfected coho salmon.
