The whirling fish kill
Article Abstract:
The Maryland fisheries department destroyed more than 80,000 Rainbow trout fish infected with whirling disease, a parasite that infects the fish brain, disrupts their equilibrium and causes them to swim in circles. The disease is believed to have arrived in the United States in loads of European brown trout sometime in the 1950's and is found to be a severe problem in the rivers and streams of western states such as Colorado and Montana.
