Viral hemorrhagic septicemia. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) is a deadly infectious fish disease caused by Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus. It afflicts over 50 species of freshwater and marine fish in several parts of the Northern Hemisphere. [1] Different strains of the virus occur in different regions, and affect different species.
The white crappie has six dorsal fin spines, whereas the black crappie has seven or eight dorsal fin spines. [7] White crappies are also slightly more elongated than black crappies. [8] The white crappie is a deep-bodied fish with a flattened body, or a depth that is one-third of the length of the fish.
Fatty fish, meat, and eggs are also rich in the nutrient choline. Choline keeps our cells healthy, and helps with memory, mood, and overall brain function. While there is a good dose of it in ...

Limited nesting grounds can also factor in hybridization causing the females of one species to prefer the nest of another. [31] Bluegill can theoretically hybridize with all other species in the genus lepomis, though the most common hybrid is the Greengill. [32] The hybrid fish are aggressive and have larger mouths than their Bluegill parent.
