Not something you expect to hear, is it?

State officials announced Friday morning that a parasite-caused disease killed thousands of whitefish in the Yellowstone River.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said in a press release that the cause for the kill is proliferative kidney disease, which it said is “one of the most serious diseases to impact whitefish and trout.”
The disease is caused by a microscopic parasite. It has been documented in Montana two other times in the past 20 years. Recent research has shown the disease has the potential to cause 20 percent to 100 percent mortality in trout, FWP said.
