approximately $107,000 yr-1 in the U.S. and $260,000 yr-1 overall (Dann and Schroeder 2003).”
Diseases
Infection with viral haemorrhagic septicaemia is an OIE-reportable disease (OIE 2019).
According to Algers et al. (2008), Morone americana may be a host and susceptible to viral
haemorrhagic septicaemia.
From Matsche et al. (2019):
“A variety of parasites was reported from white perch in the Chesapeake Bay region, including
Kudoa sp. (myxosporea, multivalvulida) (Bunton and Poynton, 1991), nematodes (multiple
species), trematodes (multiple species), an unidentified cestode and acanthocephalan, and the
crustacean isopod, Livoneca ovalis (Beacham and Haley, 1976), […]. Two species of coccidia,
Eimeria glenorensis and Eimeria moronei, were described from the intestine of white perch from
the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario (Molnar and Fernando, 1974), […]”
Matsche et al. (2019) also list Morone americana as a host for Goussia bayae.
