Gills

[Glen Scott]

Recently I have noticed that several of my Koi have been up at the
surface of the pond and the waterfall. A few have died with no
visible external problems. When they died, I looked at their gills and
noticed that there were areas of gray and looked necrotic.

Is this normal post-mortem, symptoms? Is this a gill disease problem?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

bacterial gill rot or BRANCHIOMYCOSIS
SYMPTOMS: mottled gills, bluish or grayish irregular streaks
hot temps and bluish color are the tip-offs
