“…However, a laboratory study demonstrated that the addition of laminaran did not improve survival throughout the yolk-sac stage (Dalmo et al 2000), the authors explaining the results in terms of the bacterial degradation of laminaran. The search for an effective immunostimulant which would be more resistant to bacterial degradation led Dalmo et al (1998Dalmo et al ( , 2000 to the bacterial lipopolysaccharide, LPS, obtained from cultures of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida.…”

After substantial investments in research, the Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus is now being cultivated commercially in Norway, Iceland, Scotland and Canada. As with other domesticated species, disease problems have been experienced. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge of diseases of the Atlantic halibut, and their diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment. In economic terms, the most important losses have been suffered at the larval and juvenile stages. The most important infections are caused by nodaviruses, causative agents of Viral Encephalopathy and Retinopathy (VER), which are the major reason why Norway's production of halibut fry has been level since 1995. An aquatic birnavirus, Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus, is also an important agent of mortality. Vibrio anguillarum, Flexibacter ovolyticus and atypical Aeromonas salmonicida are the major bacterial pathogens. The protozoan parasites recorded include Ichthyobodo sp., the microsporidium Enterocytozoon sp., Trichodina hippoglossi, and the metazoan pathogens include myxozoans, helminths, Entobdella hippoglossi, Lepeophtheirus hippoglossi and other parasitic copepods. Experimental vaccines have been tested against V. anguillarum and atypical A. salmonicida, with good results. A recombinant vaccine against nodaviruses is under development. A few trials have been carried out on non-specific immunostimulants, but no such treatment is currently available. A number of efficacy and pharmacokinetic trials with various antibacterial agents have also been published.

Thirdly, disease conditions that may be common among wild fish are largely unrecognised by humans. However, in aquaculture systems the fish farmer will recognise signs of disease such as reduced growth, abnormal behaviour and increased mortality, all of which rapidly call for attention by veterinarians and scientists.The main challenge experienced by halibut farms has been to achieve adequate survival rates, particularly during the early life stages. Thus, since the early 1990s, the amount of experience and knowledge of diseases of viral, bacterial or parasitical etiology of the Atlantic halibut has grown significantly. The evidence for the importance of diseases that affect the early life stages, such as infections by birnaviruses (Biering et al. 1994), nodaviruses (Grotmol et al. 1995(Grotmol et al. , 1997, or various opportunistic bacteria (Bergh et al. 1992b) has now been demonstrated by different challenge experiments (Table 1).The parasite fauna of wild Atlantic halibut have not been widely studied, for which reason our knowledge of potential harmful parasites in farmed fish is limited. Studies of parasites on wild halibut have mainly concentrated on desc...

“…Even in the spleen with extensive uptake of V. anguillarum, the arteries surrounded by Ig-positive cells were free from antigen. Intraperitoneal administration of laminaran and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in Atlantic cod has been reported to result in high levels of antigen in the spleen and heart [11,22]. Intravenously administered collagen accumulated mainly in the heart of cod, specifically in endocardial endothelial cells [18].…”

“…There is a paucity of information on this for the cod. The main cellular uptake of soluble circulating antigens in fish is in the spleen and kidney in species like Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, turbot and halibut [9][10][11]. Especially, the trapping of antigens in the ellipsoids of the spleen has been discussed in relation to cellular and humoral mechanisms [12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Especially, the trapping of antigens in the ellipsoids of the spleen has been discussed in relation to cellular and humoral mechanisms [12][13][14][15][16]. Substantial uptake of soluble antigens has also been observed in columnar scavenger endothelial cells in the atrium of plaice and Atlantic cod [11,17,18]. Uptake of particulate antigens like bacteria has, however, not been studied in cod before.…”

“…Previously, LPS has been reported to locate both in splenic ellipsoids and in cells in the head kidney of salmon (Dalmo & Bøgwald, 1996;Espenes et al, 1996), and also in the heart of a marine fish species (Atlantic cod) (Dalmo et al, 1998). In salmon vaccinated against furunculosis, the A-layer protein has been detected in melanomacrophages of the head kidney and in a small population of tissue macrophages located near melanomacrophages in the spleen .…”
