“…Viral infections have been encountered in both wild and cultured crustaceans; since their initial discovery in this host group in the 1960's (Vago, 1966), there have been over 50 viruses described from a diverse range of crustacean groups. Due to their larger size and characteristic pathology, the DNA viruses (epitomised by the bacilliform viruses of the hepatopancreas of many crustaceans, the white spot syndrome virus of penaeid shrimp, and the virus infection of spiny lobsters, PAV1) have been described in most host groups studied with any level of detail (for examples see Takahashi et al, 1994;and Stentiford, 2008;Behringer et al, 2011). Viruses with RNA genomes, some of which have devastating consequences for cultured populations, are also being increasingly described, particularly from intensively farmed penaeid shrimp hosts (for examples see Boonyaratpalin et al, 1993;Hasson et al, 1995;Poulos et al, 2006;Lightner, 2011).…”

Estimating the true prevalence of PaV1 requires the use of expensive and/or time-consuming techniques such as histopathological analyses (Shields & Behringer 2004), fluorescence in situ hybridization (Li et al 2006), or PCR assays (Montgomery-Fullerton et al 2007).…”

Variability in clinical prevalence of PaV1 in Caribbean spiny lobsters occupying commercial casitas over a large bay in Mexico

et al. 2012

In Bahía de la Ascensión, Mexico, the fishery for spiny lobsters Panulirus argus is based on the extensive use of casitas, large artificial shelters that can harbor the full size range of these highly gregarious lobsters. The discovery of a pathogenic virus in these lobsters (Panulirus argus virus 1, or PaV1) has raised concern about its potential effects on casita-based fisheries. Because in Bahía de la Ascensión visibly infected lobsters represent an immediate loss of revenue, we examined variability in clinical prevalence of PaV1 (percentage of lobsters visibly infected) in thousands of lobsters sampled from the commercial catch at the onset of 3 consecutive fishing years, and from 530 casitas distributed over 3 zones within the bay during 2 fishing and 2 closed seasons. In the commercial catch (lobsters 67 to 147 mm carapace length [CL]), clinical prevalence of PaV1 was low and was not affected by year or sex. In lobsters (9.2 to 115.0 mm CL) that occupied casitas, clinical prevalence of PaV1 varied with sampling season and was always higher in juveniles than in subadults or adults, but was consistently lower in one zone relative to the other 2 zones. The average clinical prevalence of PaV1 in this bay was statistically similar to the average clinical prevalence reported in Cuba, where casitas are also used, and in Florida Bay, USA, where casitas are not used. To date, PaV1 has had no discernible impact on the lobster fishery in Bahía de la Ascensión, suggesting that clinical prevalence is not influenced by the use of casitas per se.

“…The Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) (Latreille, 1804) supports an important economically valuable fishery in the Caribbean [1] [2]. Spiny lobster P. argus has a lengthy (5 to 9 months) planktonic larval phase comprising 10 stages, called phyllosomata (singular: phyllosoma).…”

“…This prevalence decreases in sub-adults and adults and clinical signs characteristic of PaV1 are difficult to evaluate in the field [12]. PaV1 is highly prevalent throughout the Caribbean region and its propagation could impact P. argus fisheries [2] [10] [12]- [15].…”

Panulirus argus virus 1 (PaV1) is considered a major threat to spiny lobsters Panulirus argus. In this study Geospatial analysis was used to analyze PaV1 distribution in an artisanal fishery of spiny lobster Panulirus argus population from the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Adult and sub-adult P. argus and seabed coverage data were collected from thirty artisanal fishing sites. Five seabed coverage types were identified: seagrass; sand/seagrass mixture; sand only; coral/sand mixture; and seaweed. No juveniles were examined. Of the 358 collected lobsters, PaV1 was identified in four organisms (three sub-adults and one adult) from two fishing sites (termed A & B), both found in a seagrass coverage area. Overall prevalence was of 1.12%. Prevalence was of 20% (2/10) at one site and of 12.6% (2/16) at the other.
