It has long been talked about that mycobacteriosis (myco) can cause death to Striped Bass in the Chesapeake Bay, but given it has not been that long since it appeared there have been no definitive study results saying exactly if it does kill stripedbass or it just looks aweful.  A recent study by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science has confirmed that mycobacteriosis can kill striped bass.  I tried to get the study, but was lead to a site that wanted to charge me $29.99 for it so I will have to order it from the library, however until I get it here is a good article that summarizes the findings.
