Abstract
Strain C1 is a bacterial isolate, which can reduce luminous bacteria in seawater, and thus a potential probiotic in crab larval rearing system. A delivery method through colonized substrates like plastic beads, window pane (“bay-ad”) shells of Placuna sella, and corrugated plastic sheets (CPS) was tested, especially for their ability to maintain the stability of C1 population in water where they were introduced. Beads, shells and CPS measuring were washed, and sterilized and soaked in 106 cfu/mL C1 suspension for 24 hr. These substrates were transferred to the following water conditions: sterile seawater (SSW), sterile seawater with luminous bacteria (SSW+LB), and unfiltered seawater (USW). Bacterial load of water was monitored by spread plate method using nutrient agar (NA) and thiosulfate citrate bile salt sucrose (TCBS) agar. Results showed, successful colonization of C1 on the beads, shells and CPS as shown by high strain C1 counts in all treatments at 1 hr after introduction of substrates. With colonized beads, shells, and CPS, the maximum number of C1 bacteria obtained in water in all treatments was 105 cfu/mL. On day 7, strain C1 population remained at 105 cfu/mL in SSW and SSW+LB treatments, but leveled down to 103 cfu/mL in the USW treatment. With CPS, the maximum strain C1 count obtained was 104 cfu/mL. On day 7, strain C1 population leveled down to 102 cfu/mL in treatments SSW and SSW+LB treatments and 101 cfu/mL in USW treatment. The study shows that both windows pane shells and CPS can be used as substrates for colonization of C1 bacteria, but colonized shells can sustain C1 population in their new environment more effectively than the colonized CPS.

Country status of aquatic emergency preparedness and response systems for effective management of aquatic animal disease outbreaks in Myanmar
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2019)Myanmar is one of the OIE members and the Department of Fisheries (DoF) is highly concerned with transboundary aquatic animal pathogens. Therefore, the Aquatic Animal Health & Disease Control Section has already been formed not only for field diagnostic surveys but also for border control especially at international airport and border trade areas by checking and counter checking export and import of aquatic animals and products. At the moment, the DoF is stressing an issue of some transboundary diseases for finfish such as Gyrodactylus sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Argulus sp., Trichodena sp., Streptococcus sp., Aeromonas sp., and for crustacean are MrNV/XSV and WSSV. In addition, the DoF is facing challenges with parasitic disease and bacterial disease problems due to poor water quality management at culturing fish ponds. For the prevention and control of fish diseases within the country, the DoF is issuing Health Certificates by physical and microbiological examination of fishes and fisheries products. At the same time, Quarterly report on fish disease has being regularly submitted to NACA, OIE since 1998 until now. Although the DoF has no specific law and legislation on the control of quarantine pest and disease of aquatic animal, a good aquaculture practice has been implemented and code of conduct responsible for aquaculture is being followed in the country. The aquatic health management is a challenging issue in aquaculture development. Myanmar is still needing technical assistance to improve quarantine system especially for importation and exportation of live aquatic animals. Moreover, monitoring and surveillance programs with harmonized aquatic emergency preparedness and response system are required to boost up not only for Myanmar but also for effective management of transboundary disease outbreaks in Southeast Asia. -
Transboundary aquatic animal diseases: History and impacts in ASEAN aquaculture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2019)Aquaculture is one of the important sectors in the economy of most Asia-Pacific countries. However, majority of aquaculture farms are small-scale and most often lack the necessary facilities to comply with or are not well informed of the product standards imposed by concerned authorities, especially for international trade. Most countries in the region have a high reliance on aquatic animals as the major source of protein for their populations. In the past 20 years, farming of shrimp and fish for export has become a major employer and revenue earner for many countries in the region. Aquaculture is a major employer, contributes significantly to national economies, assists in poverty reduction, and is an important element in food security and other national development priorities. Aquaculture has developed rapidly in the region and is now a significant component in the national economies of many countries. However, recent disease events in fish and shrimp farming have indicated that preparedness and response measures are lacking, contributing to spread of disease across large areas of the countries involved. The growth of aquaculture in recent decades has been dependent on the international movement of aquatic animals and, in particular, the introduction of non-native species. The movement of live aquatic animals and their products has the potential to spread pathogens from one country or region to another, which may result to disease outbreaks. In shrimps as example, most major disease outbreaks were associated with the movement of live animals (broodstock, nauplii and postlarvae) when the patterns of disease spread were analyzed. Many aquatic animal diseases, once established, are often difficult to treat or to eliminate. Over the past 30 years, the Asia-Pacific region has been swept by a number of devastating diseases of aquatic animals which have caused massive economic and social losses. These include spread and outbreaks of infection with Aphanomyces invadans (EUS) in freshwater fish, viral nervous necrosis (VNN) in marine fish, viral hemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) in marine and freshwater fish, and several viral diseases in shrimps such as white spot disease (WSD), white tail disease (WTD), yellow head disease (YHD) and infectious myonecrosis (IMN) among others. This demonstrates the vulnerability of the aquaculture industry as well as the wild populations to disease emergence in the region. The impacts of these diseases have been aggravated by the lack of effective preparedness and response whenever diseases emerge. Although some national, regional and international actions towards disease emergencies have paved way to disease spread prevention in recent years (e.g. Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis diseases; AHPND), there are still several emerging diseases that need to be considered by aquaculture-producing countries, especially in the ASEAN, through a harmonized and effective emergency preparedness and disease response. -
