Juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in British Columbia migrate past numerous Atlantic (Salmo salar) farms from which they may acquire infectious agents. We analyse patterns of molecular detection juvenile for the bacterium Tenacibaculum maritimum, known to cause disease fish globally and mouthrot farmed Columbia. Our data show a clear peak T. maritimum detections Discovery Islands reg...

In the present study, Anacker and Ordal agar, marine agar (MA), and Flexibacter maritimus medium (FMM) were compared with the dilute versions of Mueller-Hinton agar (DMHA) medium recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) for their use in disk diffusion tests with Tenacibaculum maritimum strains and to calculate the MICs of five drugs by the Etest method. Pr...

Article history: Received 19 May 2016 Received in revised form 21 June 2016 Accepted 22 June 2016 Available online 23 June 2016 The use of cleaner fish as biological controls of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) has increased exponentially in the last decade inNorwegianAtlantic salmon (Salmo salar) production. This alternative to chemical treatments has resulted in the emergence of lumpsuck...

Dried and ground leaves of Crithmum maritimum were used as a matrix for supercritical extraction of volatile oil with CO2. Operative conditions were: extractor, 90 bar and 50 °C for 240 min; first separator, 90 bar and –10°C; second separator, 15 bar and 15 °C. GC/MS analysis of the leaves volatile oil revealed that it mainly consisted of: para-cymene, βphellandrene, γ-terpinene, thymol methyl ...

BACKGROUND Alkaloids present in plants of the Amaryllidaceae family are secondary metabolites of high biological interest, possessing a wide range of pharmacological activities. In the search for new plant-derived compounds with antimicrobial activities, two alkaloid extracts obtained from bulbs and leaves of Pancratium illyricum L., a plant of the Amarillydaceae family, were tested for their e...
