Observations on the Milky Condition in Some Pacific Coast Fishes

Abstract
The milky condition in some Pacific coast fishes was studied because of its effect on quality and salability of fishery products. Affected mikly areas displayed relatively high proteolytic activity, whereas adjacent unlysed areas showed little or no activity. The proximate composition for the whole fish remained within normal limits. The myxosporidian parasites causing the condition were readily identified microscopically by their characteristic spores.
