Environmental and other non-infectious diseases
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2010)
The chapter presents some of the environmental non-infectious diseases of aquatic animals. Non-infectious diseases are caused by adverse environmental conditions, nutritional disorders, or genetic defects. While they can ...
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 ...
Basic epidemiological concepts for surveillance in aquaculture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2010)
Immunity and biological methods of disease prevention and control
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2010)
The chapter deals with the barriers that prevent microbial entry and the various internal defense mechanisms that are part of the host's arsenal in combating in combating invading microbes. It also discusses some of the ...
Detection of pesticide residues in aquaculture products
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004)
Agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides have made an important contribution to agriculture. Pesticides protect crops from pests and diseases. They have brought about large yield increases, and have helped ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
