Losses were shown to be female dependent. Some of the eggs were found to be infected by a myxobacterium (<i>Cytophaga</i><span> </span>sp.) that may have been transmitted to the fry through the egg and/or sperm. This myxobacterial infection may have been related to the blue-sac disease observed in some egg lots. Incubation at 1.7°–3.0° C significantly reduced the incidence of blue-sac disease and mortality in the replicated egg lots.</p></div></div></div></div>
