Sulfadiazine for kidney disease
The blueback salmon fingerlings ( Oncorhynchus nerka ) at the U.S. Fish-Cultural Station at Winthrop, Washington, underwent an infection that was caused by a very short, Gram-positive, nonmotile, rod-shaped bacterium. A further description is impossible at this time, as the organism has not been grown satisfactorily for proper identification. The disease was characterized by white, raised areas of dead tissue mainly in the kidney: for this reason it is referred to as kidney disease. Belding and Merrill (1935) described a disease among the brook, brown, and rainbow trout at a State hatchery in Massachusetts which, from the description, might be the same as kidney disease. J.H. Wales of the California Division of Fish and Game described (unpublished manuscript, 1941) a disease in hatchery trout in California which seems to be identical to kidney disease.

Notes on the effect of low temperature upon eyed eggs
The question has sometimes been raised whether or not any permanent injury may be inflicted upon fish eggs through their subjection to the relatively low temperatures prevailing in egg cases during shipment. This question may be argued in either direction purely upon the basis of indirect evidence which can be summoned in support of either contention. In so far as is known, this question has not been investigated, hence preliminary experiments in this direction were undertaken at the Quilcene Experimental Laboratory.
