“…If this is the case, the main point of entry would be via zooplankton during the larval stages of the kāhala or during the fry stages when they would consume larger crustaceans. The live feeds commonly employed (e.g., rotifers, Artemia nauplii, and copepods) during hatchery operations of marine fishes are cultured and their quantity and quality are manipulated (Ako et al ; Tamaru et al ) to meet the needs of the target species. These hatchery processes apparently prevent entry of infected crustaceans into the culture of farmed kāhala (Ostrowski ).…”

The advent of molecular technologies allow for identification of organisms that were previously challenging or not possible. Conventional polymerase chain reaction analyses of a segment of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene from trypanorhynch plerocerci obtained from cultured and wild caught amberjacks, Seriola dumerili, and Seriola rivoliana of the family Carangidae from Hawai‘i and Japan were found to be 100% identical, indicating that the cestodes from Japan and Hawai‘i are the same species, Protogrillotia zerbiae. The prevalence of the trypanorhynch plerocerci found in the musculature of Hawai‘i wild‐caught S. dumerili and S. rivoliana was 86.9 and 72.7%, respectively. In stark contrast, no trypanorhynch plerocerci have been detected in S. rivoliana cultured in Hawai‘i and they are only rarely seen in S. dumerili cultured in Japan. Trypanorhynch plerocerci are part of a complex life cycle that involves the transmission in at least two intermediate hosts before finally residing in a host shark species. The results of this study indicate that artificial propagation of the amberjacks using manipulated diets has most likely disrupted the life cycle of this tapeworm, thus reducing the prevalence of this parasite in farmed amberjacks and enhancing the marketability of cultured amberjack.

“…The flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) is a cosmopolitan teleost in tropical, subtropical, and temperate coastal waters around the world´s major oceans [20,21]. The flexibility of this species occupying a varied aquatic environment at different periods of its life cycle, together with its foraging at the base of the food web, enables it to be abundant and reach high biomass in many parts of its distribution range [20]. All those characteristics make the species attractive to fisheries in both freshwater and marine aquaculture [22,23].…”

In recent years, flathead grey mullets (Mugil cephalus) cultured in Eilat (Israel) have been highly affected by Vibrio harveyi, showing neurological signs such as uncoordinated circular swimming followed by high mortality rates. Despite the advances in and different approaches to control vibriosis associated with Vibrio harveyi, including commercial vaccines, most of them have not succeeded in long-term protection. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness, long-term protection, and antibody production of three vaccine preparations: heat-killed bacteria (HKB), membrane proteins denaturation (BME PROT), and internal proteins (INT PROT) developed specifically against Vibrio harveyi for grey mullets. Our results show that fish immunized with heat-killed bacteria emulsified with adjuvant presented the most effective and long-lasting protection against the bacterium, and a cross-protection against other bacteria from the harveyi clade. The effectiveness of each immunization treatment correlated with the levels of specific antibody production against Vibrio harveyi in the serum of the immunized fish.

“…Monospecific batch culture is used and axenic stocks of Rotifers: L-strain (130 to 340 mm lorica length) rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) are grown using a batch culture method and fed a complete rotifer diet that enables densities of up to 5,000 rotifers per ml to be maintained (Tamaru et al, 2003). We have previously used a dry powder (Culture Selco Plus) with good results and no live algae are required.…”
