 BLACK
SPOTS ON FISH

There has been some
discussion about black spots on area fish. I have also
gotten several e-mails on this as well. Not knowing the
big scoop on it, set out to find all the info on it. So
here it is.
After talking to our area
fish supervisor and doing some net searching found out
some interesting stuff.
The black spots are called
Neascus. They are a type of tapeworm found in all fish
world wide. Infection cycles can come and go in lakes.
The black spots are a result of white blood cells
migrating to the area of infection encapsulating the
parasite. The cycle consists of snails, fish , and fish
eating birds mostly the blue heron. The heron eats the
fish were the parasites hatch their eggs within the
intestines and are defecated into the water. They then
seek out snails were they mature and enter the water
attaching to fish completing the cycle. As we have said,
these are not infectious to humans. Even if we were to
eat the fish raw they cannot infect humans. proper
cooking of the meat destroys them completely. This is
also the case for the little white parasite that is
sometimes found in the meat.
What we can see is what
tends to gross us out, and makes us think the fish are
bad to eat. It is actually the stuff we cannot see that
can, and will harm us if consumed the wrong way. Kinda
of like the way eating old sushi makes us sick.
We are all now a little
more educated, and can fish our lakes without these
concerns.

7-16-06 Jim Cheshire's 29" Walleye
caught off a rock bar in 30' of water on an 1/8 oz jig and
crawler. The fish fought for 10 minutes before it came
into view. With a 95 degree air temperature, it was
finally exhausted once it hit the surface and was not able to be
released.
