From my experience, any time you see an area of pigment loss, suspect marine velvet and treat for it. A heavy bio-load like you have would allow for very quick spread of a disease like marine velvet. You don't always get spots on a fish from this disease. Like ich it often attacks the gills first and the fish die without a mark on them.
