: A group of healthy pathogen-free rainbow trout (7.24 ± 1.35 g body weight [Mean and SD], <i>n</i> = 160) were obtained from “Río Blanco Federico Albert Taupp” fish farm (Valparaíso Region), a hatchery with no history of disease (located in central Chile, Los Andes). This hatchery has the certificate of being free of pathogens included in Chilean List 1, 2 and 3. In addition, before moving fish, by sanitary regulations, fish were certificated as free of any pathogen described in Chile. All the experimental procedures and animal manipulations were designed and approved according to the ethical handling of live animals’ standards from the Chilean National Commission of Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT), and the Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments of the Universidad Andres Bello.
