“…In recent years, the occurrence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB) has become a significant challenge for not only aquaculture but the entire food industry (Capita & Alonso‐Calleja, 2013; Preena et al., 2020). AMR has become a global public health threat as well as an environment pollution concern (Capita & Alonso‐Calleja, 2013; He et al., 2020).…”

“…(2014), ARGs for sulfoamides and trimethoprim were found to persist in fish‐farm sediments for 6 years. Several other reviews have also discussed the influence on fish and human health of antibiotics usage in aquaculture (Cabello et al., 2013; Heuer et al., 2009; Ibrahim et al., 2020; Lulijwa, Rupia, & Alfaro, 2020; Okocha, Olatoye, & Adedeji, 2018; Preena et al., 2020; Sapkota et al., 2008; Watts et al., 2017). Overall, the use of antimicrobials, livestock waste, and heavy metals needs to be better investigated to prevent the formation and persistence of pathogens, ARB, and ARGs in aquaculture production systems.…”

“…Fish have been identified as reservoirs of bacterial pathogens linked to human diseases including Mycobacterium spp., Streptococcus iniae , Photobacterium damselae , Vibrio alginolyticus , Vibrio vulnificus , Vibrio parahaemolyticus , Vibrio cholerae , Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae , pathogenic Escherichia coli , Aeromonas spp., Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus , Listeria monocytogenes , Clostridium botulinum , Clostridium perfringens , Campylobacter jejuni , Delftia acidovorans , Edwardsiella tarda , Legionella pneumophila , and Plesiomonas shigelloides (Novotny, Dvorska, Lorencova, Beran, & Pavlik, 2004). In addition, the presence of antibiotic‐resistant genes (ARGs) in these microorganisms has caused concerns about spreading antibiotic resistance (AMR) in the environment and to human beings (Brunton et al., 2019; Preena, Swaminathan, Kumar, & Singh, 2020; Watts, Schreier, Lanska, & Hale, 2017). In addition to human pathogens, bacteria are considered the primary cause of fish spoilage (Rippen & Skonberg, 2012).…”

Microorganisms play a crucial and unique role in fish and fish product safety. The presence of human pathogens and the formation of histamine caused by spoilage bacteria make the control of both pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms critical for fish product safety. To provide a comprehensive and updated overview of the involvement of microorganisms in fish and fish product safety, this paper reviewed outbreak and recall surveillance data obtained from government agencies from 1998 to 2018 and identified major safety concerns associated with both domestic and imported fish products. The review also summarized all available literature about the prevalence of major and emerging microbial safety concerns, including Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Aeromonas hydrophila, in different fish and fish products and the survival of these pathogens under different storage conditions. The prevalence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic‐resistant genes (ARGs), two emerging food safety concerns, is also reviewed. Pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms as well as ARB and ARGs can be introduced into fish and fish products in both preharvest and postharvest stages. Many novel intervention strategies have been proposed and tested for the control of different microorganisms on fish and fish products. One key question that needs to be considered when developing and implementing novel control measures is how to ensure that the measures are cost and environment friendly as well as sustainable. Over the years, regulations have been established to provide guidance documents for good farming and processing practices. To be more prepared for the globalization of the food chain, harmonization of regulations is still needed.

“…More importantly, Acinetobacter (G) and Pseudomonas (G) are known as multi-antibiotic-resistant pathogens in aquaculture [71][72][73][74], and Acinetobacter (G) has been used as an indicator of antibiotic resistance in the aquatic environment [75][76][77]. The antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter (G) is of concern since its antibiotic resistance gene can be transferred horizontally to the surrounding microbiota community [78]. All the fish sampled in this study appeared healthy; however, those that were dominated by Acinetobacter (G) and other opportunistic bacteria might be experiencing an altered-symbiosis status.…”

Assessing the Pyloric Caeca and Distal Gut Microbiota Correlation with Flesh Color in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L., 1758)

The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L., 1758) is a temperate fish species native to the northern Atlantic Ocean. The distinctive pink–red flesh color (i.e., pigmentation) significantly affects the market price. Flesh paleness leads to customer dissatisfaction, a loss of competitiveness, a drop in product value and, consequently, severe economic losses. This work extends our knowledge on salmonid carotenoid dynamics to include the interaction between the gut microbiota and flesh color. A significant association between the flesh color and abundance of specific bacterial communities in the gut microbiota suggests that color may be affected either by seeding resilient beneficial bacteria or by inhibiting the negative effect of pathogenic bacteria. We sampled 96 fish, which covered all phenotypes of flesh color, including the average color and the evenness of color of different areas of the fillet, at both the distal intestine and the pyloric caeca of each individual, followed by 16S rRNA sequencing at the V3-V4 region. The microbiota profiles of these two gut regions were significantly different; however, there was a consistency in the microbiota, which correlated with the flesh color. Moreover, the pyloric caeca microbiota also showed high correlation with the evenness of the flesh color (beta diversity index, PERMANOVA, p = 0.002). The results from the pyloric caeca indicate that Carnobacterium, a group belonging to the lactic acid bacteria, is strongly related to the flesh color and the evenness of the color between the flesh areas.

“…The replacement of antimicrobials used in aquaculture for more sustainable and natural alternatives has been the subject of recent interest worldwide by the WHO and FAO [59]. The main reason for looking at alternatives to antibiotics is the potential of antimicrobial resistance in both animal production systems [60,61]. Phytochemicals such as saponins are good candidates to be used and tested against infections in animals and humans [62,63] and, with the results of this study, future research should be conducted to assess the efficacy of extract treatment under natural conditions and any residues in products derived from fish.…”

P. salmonis infections are the cause of major bacterial disease in salmonids in Chile, and the reason for using more antibiotics compared to other salmon-producing countries. Vaccination and antibiotics have not been efficient and new approaches are needed. The safety of Quillaja saponaria extracts was measured by cytotoxicity using flow cytometry of cytopathic and death of fish cell cultures and efficacy was assessed using in vitro infection models with pathogenic P. salmonis. Cytotoxicity was low and control of in vitro infections was achieved with all products, with protection of over 90%. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were much higher than those in the infection using cell cultures. These results suggest a dual mechanism of action where less purified extracts with a combination of saponin and non-saponin components simultaneously decrease P. salmonis infection while protecting cell lines, rather than exerting a direct antimicrobial effect. Quillaja saponins controlled in vitro infections with P. salmonis and could be considered good candidates for a new, safe and sustainable method of controlling fish bacterial infectious diseases.
