Another Lake Worry

(AP) Biologists at the University of Minnesota hope they don't find what they are looking for. They will be on Minnesota lakes for the fishing opener this weekend looking for a disease they describe as Ebola for fish.

Aquaculture Specialist Nick Phelps has been coordinating the state's lookout for the virus. He says it has been responsible for a major fish kill in other states, and has made its way to the Duluth Harbor.

Phelps is asking fishermen to be on the lookout for infected fish. He says if it is found, restrictions would be placed on the body of water to prevent its spread.
