So now I've managed to pull 3 salmonids over the gunnel with this pathologic finding. First was a CR steelhead in 2009. Next was the GH coho in 2012. Found another GH coho in 2017 with another a-sarc tucked in the belly wall adjacent to the right ventral fin of this rather anorexic hen coho. I say anorexic because she's built almost like a hatchery steelhead.... no meat on her bones!



If you look carefully you can see the tumor hemorrhaging down her right flank. When I cut her open her meat was pox'd with many hemorrhagic metastases. I should have saved you the carcass, fishbadger, but my guests took it home.
