Due to the hatchery's design, it's not possible to empty the raceways of water to sterilize them, leaving the parasite present year after year

They do not seem to have a clear understanding of the protozoa. They could still just eampty the raceways of fish and let the parasite die off. right??

They need a HUGE heater and ALOT of salt for that tank.

Morons. You would think they would correct the problem, instead of letting it go on and on. The money they are losing should be motivation enough. Geez!
