Nodular Diseases
Caused by: various parasites, such as Ichthyosporidium, Nosema, Myxobolus, and Henneguya, and the fungus Dermocystidium.
Symptoms: Smooth yellowish-white cysts on the body, fins, gills, internal organs, or in muscle. They can vary in size from a few mm to a centimeter across, and can be spherical, oval, or irregular in shape. Each cyst contains thousands of parasitic spores.
Occurrences: These parasites do little harm, unless heavily infested in the gills or on smaller fish.
Treatment/Control: unfortunately, there is no reliable treatment for this type of disease.
