Coldwater disease... is a bacterial disease that affects a broad host-species range of fishes that inhabit cold, fresh waters. This disease... is most prevalent and severe at 10 [degrees Celsius] and below. Coldwater disease occurs in cultured and free-ranging populations, with hatchery-reared young trout and salmon species especially vulnerable to infections. Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the etiological agent of CWD.... Lesion development has a predilection for the caudal peduncle and caudal fin regions. 4, record 2, English, - bacterial%20coldwater%20disease
