| Abstract: | Abstract. A new disease condition which may affect up to 20% of a population has been recognized in pond cultured snakeheads, Channa striatus (Fowler). Clinically, affected fish are inappetent and severely emaciated; histologically and ultrastructurally, emaciated pond reared snakeheads display extensive striated myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic degeneration and necrosis with inflammatory changes. |
