Is there someone (Shawn Banks??) that can verify that the white or yellow grubs stay in the fish for its entire life span if that fish as infected as a fingerling? If the grubs stay, they could be in a fish for 6-15 yrs? In addition, the infected fish could collect additional new grubs if the source of contamination continues and the fish behaves the same way as when infected. I was told by an 'old geezer' fish farm guy that some fingerlings (he was referring to fingerling SMB) will 'clean up' or rid themselves of some parasites with aging or if transferred to new water and stored there for a time. Do you suppose this was bad info? How could we verify this stuff? Anyone now a 'hot shot' fish parasite guy. Shawn Banks has had fish parasite training. Anyone have contact info for him? Shawn may know someone who knows more about this? I have more questions than good answers.
