Hello there,
First off, I'd like to apologize if I'm posting this topic in the wrong section. If I am, please let me know.
Now then, to the subject at hand.
We recently performed a necropsy on a Golden Shiner, Notemigonus crysoleucas, that was 8+ years old. Anomalies found were inflamed kidneys, mustard colored liver with dull edges, and interestingly clear liquid-filled membranes. They were located posterior to the ovaries. They appeared like clear marbles varying in sizes where the largest one was about 2 cm in diameter and the smallest one about 5 mm. Slide samples from tissues and liquid inside the membrane did not indicate any bacterial infection. The liquid inside was not viscous, similar to water.
Has anyone come across something like this before or know what they are?
Any help or direction in finding out what they are would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe Neel
