Studies on Lymphocystis Diseases in Sebastes schlegeli

There prevailed lymphocystis disease with 1 to 2cm in size in the skin and pins of cultured Sebastes schlegeli in fish farms in Tongyoung-gun, Sanyang-myeon, Kon-ri from summer, 1987 to fall, 1988. Though there were some difference between each fish farm, this disease prevailed widely from immature fish to mature fish, less than 10cm to 30cm in body length with about 8 through 80% of infection rate. Sebastes schlegeli with the lymphocystis disease showed combined nipple-shaped mass by doubly, triply propagated lymphocystis. But the author considered that lymphocystis disease was not a direct cause of death of Sebastes schlegeli, the fish showed marked inflammation by seconary infection of pathogenic organisms.
