“…Moreover, another possible cause of spinal lesions is the direct inhibition caused by organophosphate. Skeletal deformities have been observed in wild fish subject to deficient diets and exposed to pesticides and heavy metals (Kessabi et al, 2013). Organophosphate can cause twisting of the body due to a muscle hypercontraction (Johnson, 1994).…”

“…Although there is growing understanding on the causes of skeleton deformities, skeletal malformations are still the bottleneck hindering marine finfish aquaculture (Cobcroft, Pankhurst, Sadler & Hart ; Cobcroft & Battaglene ). Various factors may lead to skeleton malformations (Kessabi, Annabi, Hassine, Bazin, Mnif, Said & Messaoudi ; Negm et al . ).…”

The osteological ontogeny and the incidence of deformities occurred in vertebral column and caudal complex were studied from 1 day post hatch (DPH) to 31 DPH in Trachinotus ovatus. Results indicate that the development of both caudal complex and vertebral column initiated between 7 DPH and 9 DPH along with the calcification of haemal arches and neural arches, and occurrence of caudal elements. The last element of caudal complex, uroneural, appeared on 18 DPH. A high number of malformations in the vertebral column and caudal complex were detected in this study. More than 33% experimental fish exhibited at least one type of malformation. Results from this study provide the first reference on the osteological ontogeny and malformation of golden pompano. Such information can be applied to the quality control for fingerling production in golden pompano.

“…In wild open environments, several environmental pollutants have been linked with skeletal abnormalities and tumours in fish (Eissa et al, 2020). A possible correlation between environmental exposure to a mixture of pollutants, such as high levels of heavy metals [cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)], various PAHs, and oestrogenic compounds in coastal waters, and spinal deformities has been suggested ( Kessabi et al, 2013 ) .…”

Skeletal deformities in fish are abnormal transformations of normal bony and/or cartilaginous structures into abnormal skeletal structures that are histologically and anatomically different from their normal prototype. Such deformities are diverse in their location, morphology and impact. The three main topographic regions of a fish (head, trunk and tail) could be affected by several types of deformities with various degrees of severity depending on the cause, age and histology of the affected tissue, regardless of whether it is bony or cartilaginous. The degree of skeletal deformity could impact physiological processes, including swimming, reproduction, growth, resistance to diseases and susceptibility to predation, as well as being the direct or indirect cause of low body weight gain or even death in young fish. Skeletal deformities are commonly recorded from wild and cultured fish, with high incidence in fish hatcheries. Skeletal deformities are responsible for considerable economic damage to the sector of aquaculture by making fish unsightly and affected fish consequently remain unsold. Such deformities are also proposed as biological indicators of aquatic environmental pollution and defaults in aquaculture management. Several diagnostic techniques, such as radiography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, have been used for detecting and defining skeletal deformities in fish. Here, the present review summarizes the incidence, classification, aetiological factors, diagnostic procedures and prevention of the most common skeletal deformities in fish.
