Pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila in Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and its Control Trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila, previously isolated from kidney of apparently healthy silver carp, was tested in silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix. Trials were also made to control the pathogen in the experimentally infected fish. Before artificial infection the morphological, biochemical and physiological characters of A. hydrophila were studied. The infection was done by intramuscular (IM) injection method. Two different doses viz., 2.8 × 10 5 and 2.8 × 10 6 CFU/fish were used. In all the injected fish external pathology appeared. Reddish lesions on anal region and fin bases were observed. Injected A. hydrophila was re-isolated from liver, kidney and intestine of the challenged fish. It was understood that the isolate was highly virulent pathogen for silver carp. To control the infection by antibiotics, oxysentin 20% (oxytetracyline HCL BP), acimox (amoxicillin trihydrate BP) and oxy-D Vet (oxytetracycline 20% and + doxycycline 10%) were tested at lower, recommended and higher doses of the pharmaceutical companies, respectively. The antibiotic treatments were conducted for 10 days and the fish were observed for 15 days. Among the three antibiotics, acimox and oxy-D Vet at recommended dose showed the best result where 100% fish were recovered. But, oxysentin 20% at higher dose showed best results.

Use of exploitation simulation models for silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) populations in several Midwestern U.S. rivers
Management of silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix has become a growing concern for multiple state and federal entities. Commercial fishing may have the greatest potential to control silver carp. However, for a management action to be successful, the level of exploitation required to reduce silver carp populations must be quantified. Therefore, silver carp were collected from Midwestern U.S....
متن کاملA comparison of complete mitochondrial genomes of silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis: implications for their taxonomic relationship and phylogeny.
Based upon morphological characters, Silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (or Aristichthys nobilis) have been classified into either the same genus or two distinct genera. Consequently, the taxonomic relationship of the two species at the generic level remains equivocal. This issue is addressed by sequencing complete mitochondrial genomes of H. mol...

Diazinon is widely consumed for plague control in the agricultural farms and in domestic and aquaculture aspects. The present research purposed to evaluate the effect of half-lethal concentration (LC50) of diazinon on some biochemical and hematological parameters of silver carp, hypophthalmichthys molitrix, after 0, 24, 48 and 96 h. The results showed that the values of leukocytes (WBC), haemat...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effects of Exposure to Copper Sulfate on some Eco-physiological Parameters in Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)
Background: Copper is a trace element vital to life, but the toxic effect of water pollution with it on fish is now exhibited. Fish blood is susceptible to contamination-induced stress and its alternation due to the hematological and immunological parameters can be utilized as toxicity indices of xenobiotics. Methods: In this study, juvenile species of silver carp with average weight of 200gr...
