Red Spot help needed

These guys are doing some important research into the Red Spot virus that has been affecting bream around the state. They need some help in getting a few new samples...

We are looking for good examples of red spot – good deep red lesions in the skin

Preferably if you could keep them chilled (not frozen) and contact Fish Health Monday-Friday 8.30 -4.30
9368 3649 or 0419 908 802
We are in the Department of Agriculture building in 3 Baron-Hay court Kensington WA 6151

Contact Brian

I'm not in WA but we get redspot in NSW. Generally after big rains.

I'm pretty certain the fish can heal as I have caught quite a number of bream with significant scars on the body that were probably redspot. The scars were the right shape to have been Redspot, but I don't have an conclusive proof, as it could have been something else entirely.

I'm not sure fisheries agree. I did fish one comp on the Manning a few years back where they were in the middle of a Redspot outbreak. Fisheries had advised that all bream caught with Redspot (including undersize - fisheries had give an exemption) were to be killed and collected in plastic bags and they would dispose of. The comp organisers said the fish wouldn't survive anyway. But fisheries may have just been trying to manage the outbreak.

There's 2 answers, so that probably doesn't help you. I'd go with the can heal though based on the scars

Yeah would have to agree with you there Crusty. The one i caught looked like it was starting to heal and i have also caught bream with scared up patches of scales.

A couple I got last week
This one I didn't realize until I saw the pics

And this one looked more like a wound than red spot, it also had a bung eye which made me lean towards a wound also.
