Abstract
Presence of Paramoeba perurans, causative agent of amoebic gill disease was determined by qPCR in wild fish from Scottish coastal waters (n = 2. 348). Overall, the apparent prevalence was low. A single fish, a horse mackerel Trachurus trachurus, tested positive. This is the first report of detection of P. perurans in horse mackerel.
