166.— ON A DISEASE AFFECTING THE RAINBOW TROUT AT JtlcCEOUO 



RIVER STATION. 



By LOBEN W. GBEEN. 



A disease has recently come among* our trout which was never known 

 here before, and it has killed several of our largest breeding trout, 

 while the small trout in ponds near by have not suffered at all. The 

 disease has been as bad in the river as in our ponds, and a great many 

 large trout have died in the river. The first symptom of our trout in 

 the ponds was that they refused all food. They would eat heartily one 

 day, and the next refuse all food, and on the following day would be 

 lying quietly on their left sides at the bottom of the pond, where they 

 would remain in this state for about five days, eating nothing, after 

 which they would die. While remaining at the bottom their breathing- 

 was a little faster than was natural. If disturbed they would swim 

 away as though well, but only for a short distance, and. then turn on 

 their sides again. Nothing can be seen about the outward appearance 

 of the fish to indicate the disease. Their eyes, gills, &c, appear per- 

 fectly healthy, and all the fish are fat, but upon opening them there 

 appears around the heart and stomach a yellow substance which seems 

 hard and contracted. Not a trout affected has lived. I have used 

 every means available to prevent the further spread of this disease, and 

 I think that now I have it checked, as the remaining trout are looking 

 very well. 



Baied, Cal., September 24, 1885.
