ami-momi

To ensure that lesions occurred on a variety of body surfaces and to cause enough internal stress, the procedure was as follows. The fish were not fed for a few days, after which time they were divided into two groups of 10 fish each and shaken in the air in a fan-shaped scoop net […] for 2 min. This shaking process is the “ami-momi” treatment.

Fish in both challenged groups were subjected to ami-momi treatment²⁷, through shaking in a net for 1.5 min, and then placed back into the tanks. The challenged groups were exposed to 60 mL of S. parasitica zoospore suspension per group (one plastic bag/ aquarium containing 20 mL of zoospores suspension).
