“…Handling and live transport creates physiological stresses which reduce THC in many crustacean species such as American lobster Homarus americanus) [1], crab Cancer pagurus) [2], western rock lobster Panulirus cygnus [2,46] marron [5,6], and a mollusc abalone Haliotis tuberculata [47]. Therefore, increasing the THC by feeding probiotic supplemented diets may improve stress tolerance and protect the animals from pathogens.…”

“…The duration of the stressors encountered in the live trade process leads to short and long term changes in immune parameters as stress response shifts from adaptive to maladaptive [2,9]. Beyond this point the physiological stress response may reduce disease resistance and growth reduced quality and eventually death [2,10].…”

“…Practices and methods used for crustacean handling and live trade may lead to serious physiological stress responses in aquatic animals [1][2][3] including marron [4][5][6]. Marron, Cherax cainii (Austin, 2002), is endemic to Western Australia and recently was introduced into South Africa, Zimbabwe, Japan, USA, China and the Caribbean as a commercial aquaculture species [6][7][8].…”

The present study examined the effect of simulated transport on marron, Cherax cainii, (Austin, 2002) after a 10 week feeding trial using basal diet or customised probiotic, Bacillus mycoides supplemented diet by measuring intestinal bacterial population, total haemocyte count (THC), bacteraemia, morbidity, dehydration and mortality.Packing steps followed the established standard packing method for live transportation of marron. Each treatment group consisted of six polystyrene boxes (65 × 30 × 40 cm 3 ), and each box contained 30 marron from each feeding group. The sealed boxes were placed on a trolley at room temperature to give the effect of transportation. Boxes were opened at 24 th and 48 th hour post simulated transport and marron from each treatment group were returned to the culture tank. After temperature acclimation, the marron were observed for mortality and samples were collected to assess marron health and immunity.The results demonstrated that no mortality was observed at 24 h of transport both in basal diet and probiotic diet fed marron, however at 48h of transport the survival of probiotic fed marron was significantly higher (100 ± 0.0%) compared to survival (93.3 ± 2.8%) of basal diet fed marron. The higher survival rate of probiotic fed marron was also sustained by superior health and immune status indicated by higher intestinal bacterial population, higher total haemocyte count and lower haemolymph bacteria (bacteraemia) level. In brief, supplementation with host origin customized probiotic B. mycoides significantly improved marron tolerance to a live transport stress test, which resulted in no mortality up to 48h of transport.

“…There have been several studies looking at the physiological condition of Nephrops norvegicus (hereafter referred to by genus alone) and other shellfish species during live transport (Lorenzon et al, 2007(Lorenzon et al, , 20082013;Barrento et al 2010Barrento et al , 2011 mainly by means of 'wet' vivier transport. Recently, an alternative to this 'wet' vivier transport is the transportation of live Nephrops in a 'semi-dry' state, packed in polystyrene boxes and transported via standard refrigerated vehicles (Philp et al, 2015).…”

Validation of a vigour index for trawl-caught Norway lobsters ( Nephrops norvegicus ) destined for the live market: Underlying links to both physiological condition and survivability

2017

Recent improved practices in the trawl fishery for Norway lobsters (Nephrops norvegicus) have made it possible to increase the proportion of trawl-caught lobsters that can be transported alive successfully. A major contributor to this has been the introduction of on-board seawater tanks, which allow for the recovery of animals immediately after they have been landed from the net.In this study, we have validated a vigour index that could be used both by fisheries scientists and by the industry dealing with live-traded Nephrops, allowing identification of the proportion of trawl-caught lobsters that fail to recover following capture and are not in a condition to survive live transportation. Results indicate that the process of visual selection into one of four possible vigour categories reflects with good accuracy the underlying physiological state of the animals, as assessed by the level of adenylate 5' -triphosphate in the tail muscles, by the proportions of other nucleotides as expressed in the Adenylate Energy Charge, and by the amount of intra-muscular L-lactate present. The vigour index also correlates well with their subsequent survival potential in a semi-dry transport system.
