Pigmentary keratitis and mixed chromatophoroma in a betta fish (Betta splendens)
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 587-592, December 2022., 2022 Graphical Abstract This clinical case report describes a <1 year old betta fish that developed pigmentary keratitis, anterior uveitis, and a mixed chromatophoroma that led to the patient's death. A review of available anecdotal and scientific literature suggests that there may have been a genetic cause for these health problems.

Backpack electrofishing does not contribute to external signs of gas bubble trauma in sculpins
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 572-577, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We exposed prickly sculpin Cottus asper and reticulate sculpin Cottus perplexus to electroshock and sham treatments in a controlled laboratory setting to determine if backpack electrofishing contributed to or exacerbated external signs of gas bubble trauma (GBT) in fish exposed to elevated total dissolved gas (TDG) levels. Fish were exposed to
