Proliferative Gill Disease (Hamburger Gill Disease)

Andrew J. Mitchell, Robert M. Durborow and M. David Crosby

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: March 1998

Proliferative gill disease (PGD) has become common in farmraised channel catfish. It can kill a few dozen fish over several days, or up to 100 percent of the fish in less than 3 days. Recurrence in the same pond is rare. This disease causes catfish to suffocate because of the severe damage to the gills. Swelling and a red and white mottling of the gills gives them a raw hamburger appearance, and many refer to PGD as hamburger gill disease.

Key Words: USDA • SRAC • Proliferative Gill Disease • Hamburger Gill Disease • Catfish • PGD • Parasite • Infection
