Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Winter Trout Stocking

I had one of our anglers send me this photo showing white parasites in a recently caught trout. This raised a few questions for me since I have not seen these in any other fish caught such as BC, BG, SMB, LMB, etc

Are these parasites harmful to people?

Should we not eat these trout?

Could they be spread to other fish?

Thanks for any suggestions or ideas.

PS will post a few pictures when trout are harvested.
