(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Selected hematological parameters of the circulating blood of snakeskin gourami, Trichogaster pectoralis, naturally affected by epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) were compared with those of apparently healthy fish collected ...
Finfish immunology and its use in preventing infectious diseases in cultured finfish
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
This review draws heavily on knowledge and experience gained from studies on cultured finfish, particularly salmonids. The advantages of using the finfish immune system as a means of protecting them against infectious ...
Humoral immune response of channel catfish to Flavobacterium columnare antigens, lipopolysaccharide and formalin-killed cells, and the protective ability of these antigens
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
The objective of the experiment was to determine the immunogenicity of various concentrations of formalin-killed whole cells of Flavobacterium columnare and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the bacterium, with and without ...
