“…This confirms and extends previous work that identified the presence of SAV RNA in heart and kidney tissue collected from flatfish in Scottish coastal waters, but which failed to isolate the virus (Snow et al 2010). Based on the presence of SAV in dab in a locality remote from salmonid aquaculture, we concluded that a reservoir of SAV in non-salmonid wild fish probably existed prior to the largescale development of salmonid aquaculture in Scotland (Nash 2011). This is supported by a study on the evolutionary rate of SAV that suggested the location of a wild reservoir would be in or around the North Sea (Karlsen et al 2014).…”

Common dab Limanda limanda from Scottish and international waters were examined by quantitative real-time RT-qPCR for evidence of viral RNA consistent with salmonid alphaviruses (SAV). SAV prevalence in heart tissue varied between sampling sites and reached up to 17% in fish collected near the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Raw Ct values ranging from 22.31 to 39.45 were obtained from the SAV-positive tissue material using the nsP1 RT-qPCR assay. Bayesian-, likelihood-and distance-based phylogenetic analyses performed with the amplified partial E2 gene sequence dataset suggest that the dab-derived virus belongs to SAV Subtypes I, II and V. A single SAV subtype was identified from the majority of sampling sites, apart from Shetland, where Subtypes II and V were also identified. The presence of SAV RNA from common dab in regions detached from salmon aquaculture lends support to the hypothesis that common dab are bone fide wild reservoirs of SAV, independent of fish farming activity. There was no link between the occurrence of viral RNA, length and sex of the dab, water depth, or health status as recorded using the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) guidelines. In addition, the histological changes recorded in dab could not, with certainty, be attributed to infection with SAV. Finally, and for the first time, this study demonstrated that the dab-derived SAV Subtype V virus could be successfully cultured in a salmonid cell line.

“…The time lag for domestication between agriculture and aquaculture is about 8 000 years (Liao and Huang 2000;Balon 2004;Nash 2011). The first evidence of some kind of control over the reproduction of captive Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, Cichlidae) in irrigation ponds comes from paintings and bas-reliefs found in Theban tombs in Egypt around 1500 years BC (Harache 2002;Nash 2011). The first known evidence of aquacultural practices took place in Asia before 1000 years BC due to the desires of an emperor to have a constant supply of his favourite fish (Liao 2000).…”

“…The first known evidence of aquacultural practices took place in Asia before 1000 years BC due to the desires of an emperor to have a constant supply of his favourite fish (Liao 2000). A treatise titled 'Fan Li on Pisciculture' is most likely the earliest work on fish farming in the world (Liao 2000;Nash 2011). For centuries, the people of the Indo-Pacific region have reared fish for consumption and today, Asia dominates aquaculture, accounting for about 90% of the world's production Gjedrem and Baranski 2009;Bostock et al 2010).…”

“…In Europe, the Romans were known to practise pond-rearing of fish, particularly of common carp (Cyprinus carpio, Cyprinidae) (Balon 2004). During the Middle Ages, European monks practised fish culture, first with common carp, then later with brown trout (Salmo trutta, Salmonidae) (Jobling 2010;Nash 2011). By the middle of the 19th century, fish culture was well-established in many European countries, but its greatest expansion worldwide, occurred since the 1960s ( Fig.…”

“…Capture-based aquaculture is the practice of collecting 'seed' materialfrom early life stages to adultsfrom the wild and subsequent rearing in captivity to marketable size using aquaculture techniques (Ottolenghi et al 2004). Certain types of coastal fish culture, for example, the Italian 'valli' and the Indonesian 'tambacks' are traditional forms of capture-based aquaculture (Bilio 2008a;Nash 2011 Bilio's (2007b) 'achievement of continuous controlled reproduction'. Reaching this level requires gonadal maturation and spawning in captivity, control of egg fertilization and incubation, and larval and juvenile rearing.…”

Levels of domestication in fish: implications for the sustainable future of aquaculture

The agricultural world today is dominated by a few domesticated mammal species, that is, animals modified from their wild ancestors through selective breeding in captivity for traits beneficial to human usages. As a result, a clear dichotomy exists between wild (from hunting) and domesticated mammals (produced in farms) used for human consumption. Similar to agriculture, aquaculture is often viewed as the only solution that can provide more fish products given that harvesting wild stocks have reached an upper limit. Aquaculture is considerably younger than agriculture relying on natural sources to farm numerous species. To better describe the diverse strategies for fish production, we propose a new classification comprising five levels of ‘domestication’ with 1 being the least to 5 being the most domesticated. Our classification places 70% of the 250 farmed finfish species recorded in the 2009 FAO database into levels 1, 2 and 3 representing a transitory form of fish production dependent on the availability of the wild resource. In contrast, only a few species, or more accurately populations, can be considered truly domesticated, similar to cattle or sheep. Based on this classification, two scenarios for the future of aquaculture are discussed: either the industry focuses on few truly domesticated species, similar to the path taken by agriculture, but avoiding its negative impacts or aquaculture proceeds with inter‐specific diversification by focusing primarily on the domestication of native species.
