In this study, the intestinal bacteria of wild Antarctic fish (family Nototheniidae) were examined using traditional culture-based techniques. Bacterial flora of the gut contents of four marine fish species (Notothenia coriiceps, Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus hansoni, and Trematomus newnesi) was investigated to describe the allochthonous bacteria inhabiting these Nototheniidae fish. A set o...

streptococcus iniae is one of the most important agents that causes high mortality and losses in rainbow trout farms in iran and the world. these bacteria can affects the consumers and people who deal with aquaculture via affected fish. so, viability of this bacterium in frozen fish and fish product can be useful for health care of consumers. a total of 90 rainbow trout, with average weight of ...

Fish receive bacteria in the digestive tract from the aquatic environment through water and food that are populated with bacteria. Being rich in nutrient, the environment of the digestive tract of fish confers a favourable culture environment for the microorganisms. The importance of intestinal bacteria in the nutrition and well–being of their hosts has been established for homeothermic species...

Hepcidin is a small, cationic peptide that was originally identified in mammals as an antimicrobial peptide and later shown to be an important iron regulatory hormone. Highly conserved hepcidin sequences have been identified in numerous fish species and there is evidence that the antimicrobial and iron-regulatory functions are conserved in fish as well. This review describes the expression of h...

In the present study, 7% silver-low-density thin polyethylene films were successfully prepared through the melt mixing method. These films were applied to reduce the harmful antibacterial properties of Huso huso fillets at refrigeration temperatures, thus extending their shelf life. The total viable bacteria count for H. huso fillets wrapped in a 7% Ag/LDPE nanocomposite was 3.04±2.43 (log CFU/...

Marine survival of anadromous salmon species is highly variable, and causes of this variability are often unknown. In the 1990s, cultured pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha alevins from 2 different regions in Alaska, USA, had years with increased postemergent mortality that could not be attributed to viruses, bacteria, or parasites. In both regions, lifetime marine survival of the most severely...

Marine collagen derived from fish scales, skin, and bone has been widely investigated for application as a scaffold and carrier due to its bioactive properties, including excellent biocompatibility, low antigenicity, and high biodegradability and cell growth potential. Fish type I collagen is an effective material as a biodegradable scaffold or spacer replicating the natural extracellular matri...

   Stability of bacterial flora in fish intestine is very important, because the intestine is an important organ for outbreak of microbial infections and other fish diseases especially when the fish have not been vaccinated. The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial flora of intestine in sturgeon juvenile in earthen ponds. The results can be applied to prevent the diseases occurren...
