I was wondering if anyone has considered fish food as a possible source of clam disease?
Perkinsus is common in oysters and there is no cure. The oysters don’t pose health risks to people and we all likely eat oysters infected with it. They harvest the oysters before they perish from the disease. I see oyster as a main ingredient in fish foods and DIY recipes also.
Perkinsus is not affected by the freezing process either. I’m making this post to open the conversation as well as alert anyone unaware of this fact. I no longer feed my fish any foods with clam or oyster to spare my clams from this risk. @ReefSquad . @PacificEastAquaculture . @jda . @OrionN . @skinz78
