Climate Change: Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Furunculosis and Other Aeromonas Fish Infections

“…Several studies have reported that climate change can affect the aquaculture sector and its production, as it may increase the vulnerability of cultured fish to diseases due to an increase in water temperature and/or to a decrease in water quality (Alborali, 2006;Karvonen et al, 2010;Marcogliese, 2008;Marcos-López et al, 2010;Mohanty et al, 2010;Tam et al, 2011). It is well known that small changes in water temperature alter both the fish metabolism and physiology that may have consequences for their growth, fecundity or feeding behaviour (Alborali, 2006;Marcogliese, 2008;Mohanty et al, 2010).…”

“…It is well known that small changes in water temperature alter both the fish metabolism and physiology that may have consequences for their growth, fecundity or feeding behaviour (Alborali, 2006;Marcogliese, 2008;Mohanty et al, 2010). An increase in water temperature causes fish to suffer thermal stress, making them more susceptible to infections (by opportunistic pathogens such as Aeromonas spp.)…”

Effect of Silver Nanoparticles On Energy Metabolism In Selected Tissues Of Aeromonas Hydrophila Infected Indian Major Carp, Catla Catla

“…It is well known that among the indigenous fish fauna, Indian major carp, Catla catla is one of the commercially and highly cultivable species among aquaculture species (2). However, bacterial infections are the major constraint for rapid cultivation of these species and moreover, it is believed that contaminated water is one of the root causes for the origin of bacterial-borne infections in fishes (3). Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram negative opportunistic pathogen that commonly infects freshwater fishes (4).…”

Studies on combined effect of Aeromonas hydrophila and cadmium on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in selected tissues of Indian freshwater major carp, Catla catla: role of silver nanoparticles

“…Among food sector industries, aquaculture occupies a strategic position all over the world (1). However, waterborne diseases, including bacterial infections affect aquaculture industry and in particular fisheries thereby causes economic loses to aqua-farmers (2). Among a range of bacterial diseases, Aeromonas hydrophila (AH) mediated diseases severely affect fisheries (3).…”
