In October and November 2000, mass mortalities of the cultured amberjack Seriola dumerili have occurred in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan. The gross pathological signs of diseased fish were abnormal swimming with wide-opened mouth and opercula, which are typical signs of suffocation. Histopathological examination revealed definite epitheliocystis cysts accompanied by hyperplasia and fusion of epithelial cells of gills.
