Emergence of serranid pigment abnormality syndrome (SPAS) in wire netting cod (Epinephelus quoyanus) from Heron Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef

Abstract: Coral reefs worldwide are under increasing stress from anthropogenic impacts, but there are relatively few reports of increased rates of disease in coral reef fish. Herein we report the emergence of abnormal skin lesions in wild-caught wire netting cod (Epinephelus quoyanus) near Heron Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef. The lesion involves conspicuous darkening and disorganisation of the brown ‘wire netting’ colouration pattern typical of this species, most commonly on the lower jaw, premaxilla and hea… Show more

“…Upon capture, the anatomical hooking location of each fish and other external injuries or abnormalities (Diggles et al, 2018) were noted, and fork length (FL; L. carponotatus ) or total length (TL; E. quoyanus ) was measured to the nearest millimetre. For any fish that were hooked in more than one place (this only occurred with occasional fish in treatments 1 and 2), a primary and secondary hooking location was noted.…”
