Step Two

Assess 'Winterstress'.

Winter in Niigata, Japan
Again, this is a relatively simple part of the assessment of the fish. Assess whether the fish have been undergoing winterstress, and then subtract 30% from your "chances of success" score with this group of fish if they are winterstressed. If the fish are not winterstressed, ADD 30% to your "chances of success" score in any disease outbreak. From the above, you can safely interpret that if the fish are just coming out of winter (Winterstressed), and they're also freshly transported from the store, you would have "fifty-fifty" odds of saving any of the fish that get sick.
