Abstract Juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch, some vaccinated against Vibrio anguillarum and others unvaccinated, were released into the Great Bay estuary, New Hampshire during 1977 and 1978. Survival of vaccinated coho salmon was 1.2 to 15 times greater than that of unvaccinated fish. Vaccination did not affect the growth of coho salmon.
