Blood Fluke Infections in Marine Cultured Fish

Paragonimus kellicotti Fluke infections in Missouri, USA

Trace elements in two marine fish cultured in fish cages in Fujian province, China.

Two cultured marine fish, the Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) and red seabream (Pagrus major) were collected from eight fish cage sites along the coast of Fujian province in China. The concentrations of Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn in their muscle, stomach and liver tissue were quantified. The risk of these trace elements to humans through fish consumption was then assessed. ...

Isolation and molecular identification of Vibrio alginolyticus from cultured marine fish in farms located south provinces of Iran

Bacterial diseases are a major challenge and warning to the development of aquaculture industry. Vibriosis is caused by bacteria of the genus Vibrio, especially Vibrio alginolyticus, in warm and temperate regions, which cause severe damages to the marine fish production economy every year. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify this bacterium from farmed marine fish with bacte...

Contamination profile of heavy metals in marine fish and shellfish

Rapid industrialization along with advanced agricultural activities led to the contamination in aquatic environment with heavy metals. Heavy metals ultimately pass into human body through having aquatic animals like fish, prawn and crab. In this study, accumulation of heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, cadmium and lead) in various organs of four commonly consumed fish (Euthynnus affinis...

Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae, an Emerging Pathogen Affecting New Cultured Marine Fish Species in Southern Spain

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food-producing sector, accounting almost 50% of the world food fish demand. Considering the projected population growth over the next two decades, it is estimated that at least an additional 40 million tonnes of aquatic food will be required by 2030 to maintain the current per capita consumption (NACA/FAO, 2001). Marine aquaculture production was 30.2 million ...
