Matsukasa disease. "Matsukasa" means pinecone in Japanese. The body surface of the medaka pictured in the right panel looks like open pinecone (a healthy fish is pictured at left). The lower panels show dorsal views of healthy and infected medaka, and the panel at lower right shows a magnified image of the infected fish, showing its scales protruding.
