Pfiesteria Disease Outbreak in the Chesapeake Bay

SHELLTOWN, MD, USA - 1997/09/25: A researcher for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources casts a net to look for signs of the flesh eating Pfiesteria disease on fish stocks in the Pocomoke River along the Chesapeake Bay September 25, 1997 in Shelltown, Maryland. The outbreak caused a loss of $43 million dollars in fishing revenue and is believed to be caused by the runoff of chicken manure from farms in the area. (Photo by Richard Ellis)
