Swollen hindgut syndrome (SHG) in hatchery-reared Penaeus monodon postlarvae
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
In the course of routine microscopic analysis of hatchery-reared Penaeus monodon postlarvae, several batches were found with hindgut abnormalities not previously described in shrimp postlarvae. The abnormality was named ...
Studies on the efficacy of Sarafin® (sarafloxacin hydrochloride) on vibrios associated with vibriosis in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
In vitro activity of Sarafin® (sarafloxacin hydrochloride) was determined against 7 luminous Vibrio harveyi isolates and 3 non-luminous Vibrio species (V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus and Vibrio species) isolated ...
Isolation and characterization of an Achlya sp. associated with diseased soft-shelled turtle (Trionyx sinensis) from Hong Kong
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
In September 1996, a disease outbreak was reported in one turtle farm in the New Territories, Hong Kong. Soft-shelled turtle (Trionyx sinensis) cultured in tanks showed white spots on their body surface and carapace resulting ...
Differentiation of crocodilian granulocytes using histochemical techniques
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Blood smears from 54 crocodiles of three breeds (Crocodylus siamensis, C. porosus, and crossbred) were examined after Wright-Giemsa staining. Detection for alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase activities were performed. ...
Genome analysis of Pasteurella piscicida
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Genome analysis was conducted to detect the virulence genes in Pasteurella piscicida (Photobacterium damsela subsp. piscicida) KP9038. To date, we have analyzed 366 clones and determined 333,341 bp nucleotide sequences. ...
Hematological changes in snakeskin gourami, Trichogaster pectoralis, affected by epizootic ulcerative syndrome
(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 ...
Recent advances in fish parasitology in Japan
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Recent advances in fish parasitological studies in Japan focus mainly on myxosporean, microsporean and monogenean infections.
<b>Myxosporeans:</b> The two-host life cycle has been elucidated for several freshwater species ...
Life cycle of the blood fluke Sanguinicola armata Plehn, 1905 (Digenea: Sanguinicolidae), parasite of freshwater fishes in Malaysia
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
The blood fluke Sanguinocola armata is a parasite with a simple, two-host life cycle involving an aquatic mollusc, the intermediate host where cercariae develop, and a fish, which is the definitive host. In Malaysia, S. ...
Vibriosis vaccine development: Immunological characterization of Vibrio alginolyticus
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) profiles of five Vibrio alginolyticus strains (14, 17, 26, 78 and ATCC 17749) were studied by SDS-PAGE. Strains (ST) 14, 17 and 26 were found to possess high molecular weight bands, suggesting ...
