Histopathological observation of black gill disease in shrimp farm, Litopenaeus vannamei, in Boushehr province, Iran
author
Abstract:
The aim of this study was evaluate tissue lesions caused by black gill disease and its causes in 85-80 days old Litopenaeus vannamei with an average weight of 13-15 g located in the Delvar shrimp rearing site from Bushehr province. Primary and secondary gill lamella was necrosis, central axis were not arranged and gill lamella swelling, epithelial cell necrosis along with karyorrhexis and pyknosis of gill lamella was observed in wet mouth examination and tissue sections. Also, Epistylis protozoan parasite were observed in gill tissue. The high prevalence of Epistylis protozoa (84.58%) in gill tissue, indicates the proper condition of gill tissue for colonization of this parasite. Increased sedimentation of phytoplankton and folding on the gill tissues is considered as an exacerbating factor in the disease. Based on the results, it can be admitted that Epistylis protozoan parasite can be a factor cause of black gill disease in L. vannamei shrimp farms of Delvar shrimp rearing site from Boushehr province. On the other hand, black gill can be caused by several environmental and infectious agents, including fungal and bacterial agents, but in this study were not detected any other pathogen. Hence, in further studies, more comprehensive research is needed to isolate and identify the primary cause of the disease for the management of health and treatment.

Bacteria capable of producing different extracellular enzymes of potential relevance in digestive processes were isolated from the stomach, hepatopancreas and intestine of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. A total of 64 strains with proteolytic activity were isolated and grouped into 16 clusters based on morphological characteristics: 4 groups were isolated from the intestine; 5 from t...

In this study, we identified a variable region in the C-terminus of hemocyanin from the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (2288-2503bp, HcSC) by sequence alignments. A total of 13 SNPs were identified by PCR-SSCP and HcSC clone sequencing. The SSCP patterns of HcSC could be modulated in Vibro parahaemolyticus-treated shrimps. A novel SSCP band with four SNP sites was identified in V. parahaemolyticus...

It has long been viewed that invertebrates rely exclusively upon a wide variety of innate mechanisms for protection from disease and parasite invasion and lack any specific acquired immune mechanisms comparable to those of vertebrates. Recent findings, however, suggest certain invertebrates may be able to mount some form of specific immunity, termed 'specific immune priming', although the mecha...
