Abstract
Abstract. Skin lesions developed on channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, exposed to 0‐5 mg/1 Furanace for 4 or 14 days. Lesions developed 3 days after the 4‐day exposure and on the eleventh day of the 14‐day exposure. The lesions continued to develop after the fish were moved to untreated water. The lesions which began as dull areas of skin, sometimes resulted in erosion of skin and muscle which exposed the vertebrae. Bacteria were not isolated from the lesions except those with severely eroded muscle. The gills possessed lesions characteristic of a response to a toxic chemical agent.
