Unusual Bubble (Capsule) in Fish Eggs

Observation by Jackie Schaeffer on behalf of BJ Bains-Jordan:

Small capsule was found in trout eggs that had a milky translucent appearance. Is it common and normal to find? What exactly is it? Caught on the Fish River.

Comment by Ted Meyers:

This skein of eggs appears to be decomposing so anything abnormal looking is to be expected. For whatever reason, the eggs did not ripen completely to allow the fish to spawn. Therefore the host fish would have to resorb the skein which causes a breakdown of the tissues and abnormal changes, such as the whitening of all the eggs.
