National Athletic Trainers' Association Position Statement: Emergency Action Plan Development and Implementation in Sport.

Clinical and pathological effects of the polyopisthocotylean monogenean, Gamacallum macroura in white bass.

An aquaculture research facility experienced high mortality rates in white bass Morone chrysops associated with a monogenean infestation of the gills, but not in striped bass Morone saxatilis in the same facility. All mortalities had pale gills. Monogeneans, identified as Gamacallum macroura (MacCallum and MacCallum 1913) Unnithan 1971, were found on the gills.
