چکیده

Amoebic gill disease of turbot Scophthalmus maximus L. associated with mortalities was repeatedly diagnosed at culture facilities in NW Spain. The agent was assigned to the genus Paramoeba Schaudin, 1896. Trophozoites found in the gill tissue as well as those cultured displayed most of the principal characteristics of P. pemaquidensis Page, 1970. The identity with P. pemaquidensis, known as an agent of gill diseases of salmonids, is yet to be assessed using non-morphological criteria.

Epizoic amoebae from the gills of turbot Scophthalmus maximus.

Species of amoebae belonging to the genera Platyamoeba Page, 1969, Vannella Bovee, 1965 and Flabellula Schaeffer, 1926 were found to accompany Paramoeba sp., the agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD), in clinically diseased turbots. The same community of epizoic gymnamoebae was found on the gills of turbots which revealed no gill abnormalities but slight behavioral signs indicative of suboptimal ...

Scuticociliate infection and pathology in cultured turbot Scophthalmus maximus from the north of Portugal.

During the years 2004 and 2005 high mortalities in turbot Scophthalmus maximus (L.) from a fish farm in the north of Portugal were observed. Moribund fish showed darkening of the ventral skin, reddening of the fin bases and distended abdominal cavities caused by the accumulation of ascitic fluid. Ciliates were detected in fresh mounts from skin, gill and ascitic fluid. Histological examination ...

Tissue Localization of Lymphocystis Disease Virus (LCDV) Receptor-27.8 kDa and Its Expression Kinetics Induced by the Viral Infection in Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus).

The 27.8 kDa membrane protein expressed in flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) gill cells was proved to be a receptor mediating lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) infection. In this study, SDS-PAGE and Western blotting demonstrated that 27.8 kDa receptor (27.8R) was shared by flounder and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA) and immunohistochemistry showed that 2...

Pathogenicity of birnaviruses isolated from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) : comparison with reference serotypes of IPNV

The pathogenicity of different birnavirus strains to turbot was determined by challenge experiments. The reference strains of IPNV (Sp, Ab and VR-299) were not pathogenic for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). The Norwegian serotype (N1) and two selected birnavirus strains isolated from turbot and related to the Ab serotype of IPNV (TB-306 and TB-390) were virulent to different degrees for turbot a...

Effects of seawater pH on survival, growth, energy budget and oxidative stress parameters of juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maximus

This study aimed to elucidate the influence of environment pH on survival, growth, energy allocation and oxidative damage of juvenile Scophthalmus maximus (19.89±0.25 g). Six pH treatments (6.3±0.2、6.8±0.2、7.3±0.2、7.8±0.2、8.3±0.2、8.8±0.2) lasting for eight weeks were included. Measurements of survival (SR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), weight gain rate (WGR), energy ...
