Young-of-the-year Pseudopleuronecres americanus were captured in Sandy Hook Bay, New Jersey and maintained in aquaria at 1619" C for 115 days in 1982 and 127 days in 1983. Half of them were experimentally exposed to Glugea srephani and the others were sham exposed. During the course of these experiments fish from both groups died as a result of G. srephani infection, demonstrating Ghgea-induced mortality in this species. Infections were found in both control and experimentally exposed fish. Mortality of Glugea-infected fish in the exposed group was 63% while that in the controls was 283%.
