Re: [Killietalk] Glugea questions

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at centurytel_net>]

To the best of my knowledge Glugea is transmitted by ingestion of spores 
which are present in the water, in detritus or in dead fish, at which 
live fish may pick (i.e. feed). I know of no evidence that it is 
transmitted in the egg. With annuals, spores appear to be able to 
survive for long periods in the peat and fry are exposed to them on 
hatching.
