Young-of-the-year Pseudopleuronecres americanus were captured in Sandy Hook Bay, New Jersey and maintained in aquaria at 1619" C for 115 days in 1982 and 127 days in 1983. Half of them were experimentally exposed to Glugea srephani and the others were sham exposed. During the course of these experiments fish from both groups died as a result of G. srephani infection, demonstrating Ghgea-induced mortality in this species. Infections were found in both control and experimentally exposed fish. Mortality of Glugea-infected fish in the exposed group was 63% while that in the controls was 283%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
