Extract

In a paper read to the Society in June last, “Proceedings,” June 1879, on the fungus disease affecting salmon and other fish, I discussed the various theories which were advocated, as to the cause of the disease; the effects of the fungus upon the fish, the vegetative and reproductive aspects of the fungus, and the belief that salt water had a curative effect upon salmon affected with fungus disease, on their reaching and remaining for some time in that element.
