Visceral mycosis in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) due to Sporobolomyces salmonicolor

T. M. Muench, M. R. White and C. C. Wu
Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA.

One-month-old Chinook salmon fry from a cold-water hatchery were presented live for euthanasia and necropsy. Gross lesions were emaciation in 90% of the fry and ascites and increased cutaneous pigmentation in the remaining 10%. A cause for the emaciation was not determined. Histologically, the fry with ascites and increased pigmentation had visceral mycosis with aerocystitis, myositis, peritonitis, and dermatitis. Sporobolomyces salmonicolor, a rare human pathogen, was isolated and identified in tissue sections from affected fry.
