Control fish Available online 9 October 2015 were maintained on UVSW only. Microscopic examination at day 176 (1985 DD) revealed K. thyrsites infection in nearly 90% of exposed fish but not in controls. Prevalence and severity of the infection decreased in later sam- ples. Following a second exposure of all fish at day 415 (4275 DD), prevalence and severity were elevated in the UVSW controls compared to previously exposed fish groups, suggesting the acquisition of protective immunity. In a second experiment, naïve smolts were exposed to RSW at weights of 101 g, 180 g, 210 g or 332 g and the prevalence and severity of K. thyrsites in the smallest fish group were higher than in any other group.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the DISSERTATION of Damien E
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Damien E. Barrett for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology presented on September 17, 2020. Title: What Makes a Fish Resistant? Comparative Genomics and Transcriptomics of Oncorhynchus mykiss with Differential Resistance to the Parasite Ceratonova shasta Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Jerri L. Bartholomew The myxozoan Ceratonova shasta is an intestinal parasite of salmon and trout that causes ceratomyxosis, a disease characterized by severe inflammation of the intestine that can lead to hemorrhaging, necrosis, and death of the fish host. The parasite is endemic to the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada, where it has been linked to the decline of wild fish stocks. The parasite exerts a strong selective force on its fish host, and fish populations from C. shasta endemic watersheds become genetically fixed for resistance to ceratomyxosis. This contrasts with fish from watersheds where the parasite is not established, who are highly susceptible the disease, with a single spore capable of causing a lethal infection. Management of the disease relies on selective stocking of resistant fish, however, even these fish can succumb to the infection. Understanding the genetic and immunological basis of resistance to this disease would provide the framework for the development of therapeutics and identification of genetic markers that could be used in selective breeding. In this project, we employed a comparative transcriptomics and genomics approach to understand how resistant and susceptible strains of Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout/steelhead) respond to C. shasta infection and identify the genomic loci conferring resistance. We found that infection by C.

    Intensive Culture of Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus and Hybrid Catfish Ictalurus punctatus x Ictalurus furcatus in a Commercial-Scale, In-pond Raceway System by Travis Waldemar Brown A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 09, 2010 Key words: In-pond, raceway, system, catfish, production, economics Copyright 2010 by Travis Waldemar Brown Approved by Claude E. Boyd, Co-chair, Professor of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures Jesse A. Chappell, Co-chair, Associate Professor of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures Terrill R. Hanson, Associate Professor of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures Yifen Wang, Associate Professor of Biosystems Engineering Abstract An experiment was conducted utilizing a highly intensive fish production system in the Black Belt region of western Alabama. Three main objectives were addressed in this study. The first was based primarily on channel and hybrid catfish production and performance capabilities. The second objective dealt with detailed water chemistry and nutrient budgeting, while the third and final objective involved an economic analysis to determine the feasibility and commercial possibilities of the system. The goal of this project was to improve the profitably of commercial catfish aquaculture by demonstrating methods to enhance feed efficiency and survivorship. A commercial size In-pond Raceway System (IPRS) was constructed in 2007 and installed in a 2.43-ha, traditional, earthen pond on a 170-ha catfish farm in Dallas County, Alabama. The IPRS consisted of six, individual raceways that share common walls. Each raceway has the capacity of water exchange every 4.9 minutes (≈12X/hr).

However, in stained tis- sue sections prepared for light microscopy, taxonomic features will be missing, thus making parasite identification difficult. This work highlights the characteristic features of representative parasites in tissue sections to aid identification. The parasite examples discussed are derived from species af- fecting finfish, and predominantly include parasites associated with disease or those commonly observed as incidental findings in disease diagnostic cases. Emphasis is on protozoan and small metazoan parasites (such as Myxosporidia) because these are the organisms most likely to be missed or mis-diagnosed during gross examination. Figures are presented in colour to assist biologists and veterinarians who are required to assess host/parasite interactions by light microscopy.

ABSTRACT Aquaculture production in Nigeria has increased tremendously in recent times; along with this increase is the rise in the level of waste outputs from aquaculture practices. The discharge of waste from aquaculture operations on continuous basis leads to eutrophication and destruction of natural ecosystem in receiving water body. Controlled wastes production strategies is necessary to maintain sustainable aquaculture growth into the future, as long-term sustainability of fish culture systems depends on their ability to reduce their waste outputs. The release of solid wastes is mainly a function of the digestibility of various dietary components while the release of dissolved wastes is mainly a function of the metabolism of nutrients by the fish. This paper critically reviews the impacts of aquaculture wastes on the environment and the strategies to mitigate the effect of these impacts.
