Fish with lesions being caught around Mobile Bay - al.com: "Although a dozen croakers had already been pulled aboard the Press-Register boat Thursday morning, something was clearly wrong with this particular fish.

Open red lesions were visible under its throat, the flesh raw and exposed with no sign of scales or skin beneath the wound.

A speckled trout caught later in the day also sported the distinctive wounds on its flanks and belly. Its skin appeared dull and seemed to hang loosely to the mushy flesh beneath.
