Overall prevalence (%) and organ specific prevalence is provided per species. The proportion of fish testing positive for S. destruens is also provided. Organs tested included the kidney (K), liver (L), intestine (I), gill (Gi) and gonad (Go). n: number of mortalities. n/t: not tested for S. destruens.
