Thanks for the info. I was very curious about it but didn't get a chance to pursue it due to my busy work schedule. Yes, my infested perch were from the hailstone area also. But no, I have NOT found this particular parasite anywhere else and I've fished and closely inspected fish from numerous places: rockport, echo, pineview, willard, hyrum, newton, mantua, utah lake, etc. Let's hope it doesn't spread even though it's not a concern for humans....thorough cooking...... on a personal level it makes me squeamish even when I know I don't have anything to be concerned about. There's just something about those little dots that make the fillet look nasty! But that's just me! Eventually I'll get over it....maybe.
