Symptomatic Key to Diseases of Salmonid Fish in Michigan Hatcheries, 1971


Leonard N. Allison
Fish Pathologist


      This report contains a 2-page dichotomous and diagnostic key to 23 kinds of fish diseases which occur in Michigan hatcheries, mostly among salmonids, and a 4-page list of treatments recommended for individual diseases. The recommended treatment is specified in the 2-page key for each disease. This guide has proved to be useful to Michigan’s fish-culturists, and therefore has been duplicated in this formal report series. Incidentally, August 13, 1971 was the date of Dr. Allison’s retirement from State service.
