Abstract Ciliates are considered the most harmful parasites of fish, causing mass mortalities and thus substantial economic losses to aquaculture ornamental fish industries. To better elucidate their pathogenic mechanisms facilitate development effective prevention control strategies, it is essential apply novel technologies ensure continuous sufficient supply parasite specimens. This review discusses latest research progress in artificial culture six important parasitic ciliates affecting...
Background: Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is a species of fish with high commercial potential particularly due to fast growth rates. The evidence sexual size dimorphism favoring females indicate benefits in having monosex culture. However, the involvement genetic factors responsible for development and gonadal maintenance that produces phenotypic sex cobia largely unknown. Methods: In present study, we performed transcriptome sequencing identify sex-biased significantly differentially...
The adoption of new investigative strategies based on environmental DNA (eDNA) can be used to monitor parasites, associated bacterial microbiomes, and physical-chemical parameters in fish farms. In this study, we the economically important globally distributed ciliate parasite Cryptocaryon irritans as a model understand abundance potential drivers its presence marine Environmental (rainfall) (temperature, oxygen, salinity, pH) data collected from farm Hong Kong were analyzed together with...
Abstract Background Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is the only member of Rachycentridae family and exhibits considerable sexual dimorphism in growth rate. Sex determination teleosts has been a long-standing basic biological question, molecular mechanisms sex determination/differentiation cobia are completely unknown. Results Here, we reported 2 high-quality, chromosome-level annotated male female genomes with assembly sizes 586.51 Mb (contig/scaffold N50: 86.0 kb/24.3 Mb) 583.88 (79.9 kb/22.5...
Mouthpart and alimentary canal development was examined in Lysmata amboinensis larvae using scanning electron microscopy histology. The gross morphological features of external mouthparts internal digestive tract structures at different developmental stages indicate that ingestive capabilities are well developed from early on. With increasing age the mouthpart appendages increased size, hepatopancreas tubular density midgut length. setae robustness teeth spines individual increased. most...
Sea lice (Copepoda: Caligidae) are ectoparasites which negatively impact marine aquaculture species around the world. There a limited number of treatments licensed for use against sea in tropical and semi-tropical farmed fish species. Emamectin benzoate (EB) was an effective pharmaceutical drug infestations several salmon industries before resistance to product developed. This has not been extensively tested within Asia. The objective this study determine whether could be used treat oral...
ABSTRACT Environmental factors, probiotics and feed additives affect microbiota diversity in fish. Water temperature disrupts the composition of microbiota, with changes triggering stress immune responses In Singapore, water heat treatment is used to control prevent disease outbreaks farmed Although gut have been reported, little known about effects on fish skin dynamics. Over a 3-mo interval, we investigated dynamics associated practice commercial farm recirculating aquaculture system...
The shrimp disease necrotizing hepatopancreatitis (NHPB) is caused by an intracellular rickettsia-like bacterium. When present on farms this pathogen leads to high mortalities and economic losses. In effort improve the diagnosis of NHPB in farmed Litopenaeus vannamei, we compared two traditional techniques, wet mounts histopathology with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Shrimp (n = 154) were collected from a commercial farm Brazil reportedly had their hepatopancreas divided into three...
