Adhesions may be minor, connect various organs to the abdominal wall and leave an opaque peritoneum after being removed in up to 22% of vaccinated fish. Parietal melanin pigmentation may occur in <1 % of vaccinated fish and be moderately extensive yet readily removed and contain small areas that penetrate beyond the muscle surface. Visceral granulomas may occur in <1 % of vaccinated fish.
