Abstract
Chinook salmon fingerlings were diagnosed as having "gas-bubble" disease. Gross symptoms were similar to those described by other investigators. The histopathology associated with this disease has not been previously reported. The following 10 tissues and organs were examined: gills, liver, spleen, heart, kidney, intestine, stomach, roof of the mouth, skin, and muscle. All exhibited histopathological changes with the exception of the hearts and stomachs, which did not differ from the control fish. The most striking pathological changes occurred in the roof of the mouth of all fish examined.
