Warm water Cool water Cold water Miscellaneous cc – channel catfish bb – brown bullhead bkb – black bullhead yb – yellow bullhead wc – white catfish lmb – largemouth bass np – northern pike we – walleye sb - striped bass f – flounder ats – atlantic salmon rbt – rainbow trout bkt – brook trout bnt – brown trout kok – kokanee salmon crus - crustaceans moll - molluscs It must be mentioned that the major route of dissemination of these pathogens is through the movement of fish and/or fish gametes i.e. importation/liberation of fish and/or fish gametes from infected areas/facilities into non-infected areas/facilities. This is accomplished by allowing movement of fish and/or fish gametes into and within the state. Some of the more targeted game species pathogens such as largemouth bass virus could be moved inter-state through contaminated boats i.e. livewells, bilge water etc. Movement of pathogens associated with aquarium species (Hexamitosis) could be accomplished by inadvertent or intentional release of aquarium fish species.
