The histopathology of acute fin rot disease in summer flounder, Paralichthys dentatus, from the New York Bight is described. Grossly, caudal and dorsal fin lesions appeared ragged or frayed with no evidence of resolution. Microscopically, there was epidermal and dermal necrosis, congestion, edema, focal and diffuse hemorrhage, and Zenkers necrosis of underlying muscle. Gram-negative bacteria were present in the fin tissues as well as in heart muscle and liver parenchyma. The inflammatory response consisted mostly of macrophages. The significance of the acute disease in summer flounder is discussed in relation to the etiology of fin rot disease in winter flounder from the Bight.
描述了来自纽约湾的夏季鲆（Paralichthys dentatus）急性鳍腐病的组织病理学。大体上，尾鳍和背鳍病变显得参差不齐或呈磨损状，没有愈合的迹象。显微镜下，存在表皮和真皮坏死、充血、水肿、局灶性和弥漫性出血以及下层肌肉的泽克尔氏坏死。鳍组织以及心肌和肝实质中存在革兰氏阴性菌。炎症反应主要由巨噬细胞组成。结合来自该湾的冬季鲆鳍腐病的病因，讨论了夏季鲆急性疾病的意义。
