Health and Environment in Aquaculture

Abstract: where he also coordinates a research group in the Graduate Program focusing on ecology and fish biology, and aquaculture research Furthermore, Dr. Carvalho teaches Cell Biology for undergraduate courses. He is national and international referee of scientific journals. This extensive research activity has resulted in scientific publications, including scientific articles, reports and book chapters in the field of Inland Fishery Resources, focusing on topics such as freshwater fish breeding, fish fauna of reserv… Show more

“…According to Berrie (1960), Diplostomum cercariae emerge in waters only at temperatures greater than 10 °C. Despite the high water temperature observed in the current study location (CARVALHO et al, 2012a), which may lead to a high intensity of infection, the values of water transparency, conductivity and chlorophyll a (Table 1), suggest a small quantity of available nutrients in the local aquatic ecosystem. This can limit the size of the snail populations (first intermediate hosts), leading to the low values observed for the prevalence, mean intensity of infection and mean abundance for the majority fish species analysed.…”

“…Intensive aquaculture applications have promoted the growth of several bacterial diseases and consequently increased the need for appropriate microbial control methods (Carvalho et al, 2012;Romero et al, 2012). Vaccination was suggested as an ideal method for preventing infectious diseases in the aquaculture field (Deep et al, 2011).…”

“…Félix d'Herelle discovered bacteriophages in 1917 and immediately visualized their potential to control bacterial diseases (D'Herelle, 1917). Nowadays, due to the excessive use of antibiotics (Blazquez et al, 2002;Harbottle et al, 2006;Madhusudana Rao and Lalitha, 2015), the strategy of using lytic bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents, has become an interesting alternative for controlling bacterial infections (Matsuzaki et al, 2005;Almeida et al, 2009;Carvalho et al, 2012;Verbeken et al, 2014;Keen and Adhya, 2015;Kutter et al, 2015;Sarhan and Azzazy, 2015). The main advantages of bacteriophage usage are their high specificity (even at strain level), infective ability, and their exponential growth curve in the presence of a target bacteria, with a higher efficiency than antibiotics (Levin and Bull, 1996).…”
