first isolation and identification of vibrio vulnificus (biotype 2) from cultured beluga, huso huso in iran
Authors
abstract
by decreasing of sturgeon stocks in the caspian sea, the culture of different sturgeon species especially huso huso was increased in iran. under stress conditions sturgeon can easily be infected by several opportunistic pathogens. in june 2011, mortality happened in 25-28°c water temperature, in one of the most important cultured sturgeon farms in mazandaran province in the north of iran. the mortality rate was 15%. the first clinical signs in moribund fish were lethargy and anorexia. a total of 20 moribund fish was transferred to a central laboratory for more bacteriological examination. clinical signs including several deep ulcers on body surface, around the head, under operculum and the base of the pectoral fins, hemorrhage around of the anus, operculum, necrosis of the base of the pectoral fin and paleness gill was observed in moribund fish. the main internal signs were hepatomegally and spleenomegally, liquid accumulation in the intestine and diffuse visceral hemorrhage. the results of morphology and microscopic characterizations and also biochemical tests indicated that vibrio vulnificus (biotype 2) was the etiological agent of mortality in infected fish. this study was the first report of v. vulnificus in cultured huso huso in iran.

Semen obtained from four Beluga males (Huso huso) was cryopreserved using extender; Tris-sucroseKCl (30mM Tris, 23.4mM sucrose, 0.25mM KCl, PH 8.0) supplemented with MeOH at concentration of 5%, 10% and 20%. Semen was diluted, respectively, with ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1 and 1:2 with extender and frozen in liquid nitrogen vapor.Frozen sperms after 30 and 60 days were excluded from freezing. Experime...

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary citric acid (CA) (0, 1, 2 and 3%) on the Calcium(Ca) and Phosphorus(P) content of muscle, scute and serum of Beluga (Huso huso) juveniles (25.1±1.9 g). After 8 weeks feeding on the experimental diets, Calcium(Ca) and Phosphorus(P) content of muscle, scute and serum were measured. The results revealed that addition with 2% and 3% CA sig...
full textEffect of freezing rate on motility, adenosine triphosphate content and fertilizability in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) spermatozoa.
Broodstock selection programs are currently underway for sturgeon species. To complement and further these selection programs we need to develop sperm cryopreservation procedures. In the present study, we describe the effects of freezing rate (-10°C, -15°C, -20°C, -30°C and -40°C/min) on gamete quality characteristics (i.e., duration of motility (s), motility percentage (%), ATP content (nmol/1...
