A preliminary study of ulcerative disease in koi carps (Cyprinus carpio, Linnaeus)

A chronic persistent ulcerative disease was reported in coloured carps or Koi carps (Cyprinus carpio) in several commercial aquarium fish holding facilities and retailer shops. A preliminary histopathological study was carried out to elucidate the pathological signs seen. The ulcer was characterized...
