A POST-EPIZOOTIC SEARCH FOR FURUNCULOSIS IN A WARM-WATER FISH POPULATION
1 Iowa Cooperative Fishery Unit, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50010, U.S.A.
Specimens were taken from the kidneys of 777 fish of 10 species from Clear Lake, Iowa, in 1970 and 1971 to determine the carrier rate of Aeromonas salmonicida after a 1968 furunculosis epizootic that destroyed most of the yellow bass population. A. salmonicida was not detected in any fish examined. Serum from 5 of 46 yellow bass old enough to have been present during the 1968 epizootic contained agglutinins to A. salmonicida.
