Scientists from Virginia and Maryland are studying a bacteria called mycobacteriosis that has become widespread among striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay.
Although the bacteria may be present in as many as 70 percent of Chesapeake Bay stripers, most infected fish appear to be healthy. Some fish, however, develop skin lumps and lesions.
Area anglers should be careful when handling fish as mycobacteriosis can be spread to humans through cuts on the hands. [/size][/font]
