Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) test and determination of antimicrobial resistant bacteria
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004)
The agar dilution technique is used to measure qualitatively the in vitro activity of an antimicrobial agent against the test bacteria. In this method, graded amounts of antibiotics are incorporated in agar plates and ...
Bacterial isolation, identification and storage
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004)
Bacterial isolation, purification and identification are the first steps to bacteriological studies. Isolation is done to obtain pure bacterial cultures. Bacteria are usually isolated from fish kidney and spleen; and from ...
Immunological and molecular biology techniques in disease diagnosis
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
The improvement of existing immunoassay techniques, development of monoclonal antibody technology and the development of new immunoassay approaches are all working together to provide new tools for the detection of ...
Parasitic diseases and pests
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
A wide variety of parasites have been identified as causing significant economic losses in fish and shrimp culture. Most of these parasites are difficult to control effectively with a single measure. The control of parasites ...
Introduction to nutrition in tropical aquaculture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2002)
Fish is a vital component of food security especially in developing countries of the world. As the world population grows, the need for more food and more fish has correspondingly increased. Aquaculture, the farming and ...
Disk diffusion method
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004)
Disk diffusion method is based on the principle that antibiotic-impregnated disk, placed on agar previously inoculated with the test bacterium, pick-up moisture and the antibiotic diffuse radially outward through the agar ...
Physical, environmental, and chemical methods of disease prevention and control
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
Disease prevention is primary and cost-effective method in fish health management. It is more effective and economical than attempting to stop a disease that has already set in the recommendations given above will greatly ...
Histology as a tool in disease diagnosis
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2010)
Histology is an important tool in fish disease diagnosis as it affords the comparison of normal structures or morphology of tissues against those from diseased fish. However, correct diagnosis and confirmation of changes ...
Bacterial diseases
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
Fish and crustaceans that are not weakened by poor environmental conditions, or by other causes, such as parasitic infestation, nutritional deficiency, handling stress, or chemical intoxication, are more resistant to ...
