Fisheries and aquaculture play a crucial role in global food security, yet species mislabeling remains persistent challenge, undermining consumer trust market transparency. Proper labeling is essential for protecting public health due to the presence of unknown toxic or allergenic substances preventing illegally sourced products from entering market. Despite extensive research across Europe, seafood Croatia has remained unexplored. This study aims provide first comprehensive assessment...
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a very important fish species for warm-water aquaculture in Croatia. All Croatian farms are subjected to surveillance programme the presence of koi herpesvirus (KHV), causing deadly disease called (KHVD). However, there no other viral pathogens importance like edema virus (CEV), causative agent sleepy (KSD). During regular testing within KHVD programme, we tested samples CEV simultaneously. The screening indicated possible outbreaks and KSD. 2016, broke out...
The nutritional quality of commercially important farmed fish species, i.e. sea bream (Sparus aurata), bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), dentex (Dentex dentex) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) was investigated. Dentex shown to have twice as high omega-3 fatty acid content two four times higher eicosapentaenoic (EPA) docosahexaenoic (DHA) compared other species. recommended n-6/n-3 ratio determined in all whereas the PUFA/SFA not seen turbot. Except turbot, species matched atherogenic index (AI),...
Abstract Vibrio harveyi is recognized as one of the major causes vibriosis, a disease that threatens long-term sustainability aquaculture. Current research shows Mediterranean strains V . are serologically heterogeneous, though comparing traits different scarce. This study aims to describe biochemical, physiological and genetic characteristics three isolated from farmed European Sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) Adriatic Sea. A total 32 morphological biochemical markers were examined and,...
This work aims to generate the data needed set epidemiological cut-off values for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and disc-diffusion zone measurements of Vibrio anguillarum. A total 261 unique isolates were tested, applying standard methods specifying incubation at 28°C 24-28 h. Aggregated MIC distributions a 247 determined in 9 laboratories 11 agents. Data aggregations disc 10 agents analysed contained between 157 218 observations made by 4 7 laboratories. Acceptable ranges quality...

European oysters, Ostrea edulis, L. were kept in plastic mesh cages at three depths two commercial oyster farm sites within Mali Ston Bay, Croatia, between April 2004 and August 2005. Oysters from each cultivation depth sampled both approximately 3-month intervals for growth parameters, mortality rate control condition index calculation. The parameters of experimental groups only revealed a considerable distinction shell length (P=0.011). Total weight gain soft tissue the highest cultivated...
The lack of internationally harmonised criteria for interpreting the data generated by standardised susceptibility testing methods presents a serious obstacle development prudent use antimicrobials in aquaculture. required to set epidemiological cut-off values minimum inhibitory concentrations antibiotic agents against Vibrio harveyi was determined using standard microdilution method that specified cation-adjusted Mueller Hinton broth and incubation at 28°C 24 28 h. In total, 120...
Vibriosis caused by Vibrio harveyi is an important bacterial infection in the Mediterranean farming of European seabass and gilthead sea bream. Genomic information about V. contributes to understanding its pathogenesis virulence. Sixteen strains obtained from diseased bream Croatia, France, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey were sequenced using ONT MinION Illumina HiSeq. The sequenced, de novo assembled, genomes analysed for presence plasmids, virulence, antibiotic resistance genes. Antibiotic...
Abstract During an ichthyological study of the Ilova River, rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) infected with Posthodiplostomum cuticola was observed for first time in Croatia. Later, a more detailed made at same sampling point and distribution P. fish species present examined. The condition hosts parasitological indices such as prevalence, mean abundance intensity all examined were investigated. Metacercariae most prevalent (100 %) Rutilus rutilus, Pseudorasbora parva, Leuciscus leuciscus...
Members of the Cobitidae family are not economically important, thus few studies have been made on their pathology. A survey parasitic fauna some representatives loaches, such as Cobitis elongata, C. elongatioides, and recently described bilineata, was carried out during spring summer 2006. Fish samples were collected from four Croatian rivers: Sava, Drava Kupa draining into Danubian system, Zrmanja Adriatic system. Specimens varying size, weight age. Ectoparasitological examination revealed...
Nutritive composition, fatty acid profile and health- related lipid indices of natural-born European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), variegated scallop (Chlamys varia) smooth (Flexopecten glaber) in 108 samples originating from the Adriatic sea, recovered on a monthly basis were investigated. Out three shellfish species, lowest share saturated acids, most favourable ratio polyunsaturated over atherogenic thrombogenic index, hypocholesterolaemic hypercholesterolaemic acids seen oysters, sampled...
During the spring of 1996 and autumn 1997 unusual mortality outbreaks among rainbow trout fry yearlings occurred at two different farms, resulting in 20 10 per cent, respectively. Generally, affected fish, swimming water surface, were reluctant to eat dark pigmented with visible haemorrhages around within oral cavity. Bacterial isolates from moribund fish both cases identified as Yersinia ruckeri by standard biochemical tests API 20E. The isolated strains found be sensitive tetracycline,...
The study determined chemical composition of sea brass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and bream (Sparus aurata) farmed in Adriatic Sea, together with variation caused by seasonal variations farming location. Samples were collected from four different fish farms at three times: June 2012, October 2012 January 2013. presented results clearly show moisture fat content the edible part fish, while location was proven not to have any significant impact (p>0.05). Fatty acid significantly influenced both...
Abstract During the winter of 2013 and 2016, several Croatian fish farms experienced mortalities in fry European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax . Affected showed abnormal swimming behaviour reduced appetite, death ensued days after onset clinical signs disease. Necropsy revealed pale liver, empty digestive tract, distended gall bladder, hyperaemia congestion meninges. Routine bacteriological examination tested negative, virological ruled out nodavirus infection. Histological multifocal...
Noble pen shells (Pinna nobilis) along the Eastern Adriatic coast were affected by mass mortalities similarly to populations across Mediterranean basin. Samples of live animals and organs originating from sites on Mljet Island south Istrian peninsula north Croatian analyzed using histology molecular techniques detect presence previously described Haplosporidium pinnae Mycobacterium spp. as possible causes these mortalities. To obtain more information pattern spread mortalities, a study was...
