While diving at Mike's last week, we also saw several shiner perch with this stuff on them. It looked like it was making it really hard for them to swim. I give up; what is it?

Was it in the fish's mouth? Looks like he's carrying it but it's hard to tell from this angle. Maybe the beard-mania has gotten to the fish too.

It actually seems to be growing out of their gills. We saw at least a dozen fish like this among the big school that was right under the dock.

I have seen that back in 2008. No idea what it is all about ...
