“…Drug choices for the treatment of common infectious diseases are becoming increasingly limited and expensive and, in some cases, unavailable due to the emergence of drug resistance in bacteria that is threatening to reverse much of the medical progress of the past 60 years (FAO, 2005). In aquaculture, antibacterials have been used mainly for therapeutic purposes and as prophylactic agents (Shao, 2001;Sapkota et al, 2008;FAO, 2005). The voluntary use of antibacterials as growth promoters in any aspect of aquaculture is generally rare.…”

“…The primary pathogens in aquaculture are bacteria and viruses (Shao, 2001). More than 100 bacterial pathogens of fish and shellfish have been reported (Alderman & Hastings, 1998;Winton, 2001).…”

“…In intensive fish farming, the antibacterials used to treat bacterial infections are administrated generally by either water-borne or oral means, or else through injection (Shao, 2001;Treves-Brown, 2001;Zounkova et al, 2011). Agents that are intended to treat diseases must reach therapeutic levels in target tissues.…”

“…However, sick fish may not eat, and withholding food for 12-24 hours may increase the acceptance of a medicated feed (Reimschuessel & Miller, 2006). The incorporation of an antibacterial in the feed is usually via a powdered premix in conjunction with a binder, such as gelatine (up to 5%), fish or vegetable oil (Shao, 2001). The dosage required for treatment with a medicated feed depends upon the original level of active ingredient/kg fish body weight.…”

The world keeps changing. There are always risks associated with change. To make careful risk assessment it is always needed to re-evaluate the information according to new findings in research. Scientific knowledge is essential in determining the strategy for fish farming. This information should be updated and brought into line with the required conditions of the farm. Therefore, books are one of the indispensable tools for following the results in research and sources to draw information from. The chapters in this book include photos and figures based on scientific literature. Each section is labeled with references for readers to understand, figures, tables and text. Another advantage of the book is the "systematic writing" style of each chapter. There are several existing scientific volumes that focus specially on fish farms. The book consists of twelve distinct chapters. A wide variety of scientists, researchers and other will benefit from this book.

“…Where vaccine application is not available, bacterial pathogens are dealt with by antibacterials, the administration of which is complicated due to the fact that the substances inevitably enter the aquatic environment either via the feed or directly into the water. Various registered antibacterial agents such as tetracyclines, (fluoro)quinolones, potentiated sulfa, penicillins, macrolides and amphenicols are used globally to treat bacterial outbreaks in aquatic farms (COSTELLO, 2001;SHAO, 2001). Several studies have stressed the implications of the use antibacterials in aquaculture throughout the world on human and environmental welfare (ANGULO, 2000;HAYA et al, 2000;ANGULO et al, 2004;BOXALL et al, 2004;CABELLO, 2004;RIGOS & TROISI, 2005).…”

Antibacterial drugs in products originating from aquaculture: assessing the risks to public welfare

2010

As aquaculture expands to meet human demand and compensate for pessimistic forecasts of fisheries catches, use of antibacterial agents to combat or forestall bacterial diseases is still a necessity, although effective vaccines and improved hygiene have aided drastically in this battle. The hazards for the consumer perspective arising from the imprudent use of such chemicals can be detrimental, especially if the residues persist above legal tolerance. These may include selection and dissemination of resistant bacteria, disruption of the colonization barrier in the human intestinal flora and allergic reactions. In cases that unlawful drugs reached the consumer via consumption of aquatic products, human health may be jeopardized even further. The present review article assesses these risks to human health.

Vibriosis in Fish: A Review on Disease Development and Prevention

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Current growth in aquaculture production is parallel with the increasing number of disease outbreaks, which negatively affect the production, profitability, and sustainability of the global aquaculture industry. Vibriosis is among the most common diseases leading to massive mortality of cultured shrimp, fish, and shellfish in Asia. High incidence of vibriosis can occur in hatchery and grow-out facilities, but juveniles are more susceptible to the disease. Various factors, particularly the source of fish, environmental factors (including water quality and farm management), and the virulence factors of Vibrio, influence the occurrence of the disease . Affected fish show weariness, with necrosis of skin and appendages, leading to body malformation, slow growth, internal organ liquefaction, blindness, muscle opacity, and mortality. A combination of control measures, particularly a disease-free source of fish, biosecurity of the farm, improved water quality, and other preventive measures (e.g., vaccination) might be able to control the infection. Although some control measures are expensive and less practical, vaccination is effective, relatively cheap, and easily implemented. In this review, the latest knowledge on the pathogenesis and control of vibriosis, including vaccination, is discussed. 4INA-SALWANY ET AL.
