Zooplankton samples were collected in six stations along a transect extending from the coast to about 50 km offshore in Dipolog Bay, Northern Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao. A 100 μm NORPAC net was hauled vertically to sample successive depth strata (0–65 m, 65–135 m, 135–200 m). Out of 28 zooplankton groups, cyclopoids made up 12.2 % of mean total zooplankton density. Forty-two cyclopoid species (overall mean density: 503.6 ind.m -3 ) were identified, with Oncaea clevei Früchtl, 1923 (25.4 %) as the most abundant, followed by Oncaea scottodicarloi Heron and Bradford-Grieve, 1995 (13.6 %), Triconia conifera (Giesbrecht, 1891) (9.2 %), Oncaea media Giesbrecht, 1891 (7.2 %) and Corycaeus dahli Tanaka, 1957 (7.0 %). The higher abundance (732.9 ind.m -3 ) of cyclopoids at 0–65 m than at 135–200 m (220.2 ind.m -3 ) was attributed to the high abundance of phytoplankton in the upper euphotic zone. Cyclopoid density was highest in station 4 (938.3 ind.m -3 ) at the margin of the upwelling zone. This is attributed to the time lag between phytoplankton and zooplankton build-up and the dispersive effects of wind-driven drift.","PeriodicalId":37296,"journal":{"name":"Asian Fisheries Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47666958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diseases of shrimp have caused severe economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Among pathogenic bacteria, several Vibrio species known as shrimp pathogens are also human pathogens. This study was conducted to identify the incidence of diversified Vibrio species in the shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798 farms in Bangladesh. Different Vibrio selective media were used for primary isolation and 16S rRNA gene amplicons were sequenced, followed by phylogenetic analysis. The Vibrio strains were also tested against twelve antibiotics. Two strains V32 and V38 showed 99.93 % similarity with Vibrio azureus whereas V9 and V33 showed 100 % identity with Vibrio fluvialis . Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequence of V37 with sequences from GenBank identified the strain as Vibrio xuii. The phylogenetic tree indicates that V24, V26, V34 and V35 are closely related with Vibrio parahaemolyticus . The strains V28 and V31 were identified as Vibrio vulnificus . One strain of Vibrio cholerae was also identified. Moreover, V22 was identified as Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae , and V25 as Aeromonas hydrophila . Twelve strains of Vibrio were resistant to amoxycillin, whereas all 16 bacterial isolates showed sensitivity to nitrofurantoin, sulphamethoxazole, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline. Multidrug resistance was observed in three isolates viz . V28, V32 and V35 which were identified as V. vulnificus, V. azureus and V. parahaemolyticus , respectively having MAR index of 0.25. These findings might have potential applications in controlling shrimp and human pathogenic vibrios in the farming regions.","PeriodicalId":37296,"journal":{"name":"Asian Fisheries Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43172661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present investigation was conducted to captive breed the species reared under confined condition during June and July, 2019 in Dibrugarh University premises, Assam. A successive increase of hormone dosage (Ovasis) from 0.1 mL.kg -1 body weight was injected intravenously, albeit spawning was experiential with dosage of 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 mL.kg -1 body weight. Results indicated that the latency period, fertilisation rate and hatching rate with different hormonal dosages varied from 22–32 h, 53–81 % and 65–85 %, respectively.

Despite the fact that abnormal pigmentation is known in many fish species, they are extremely rare and of significant interest from the point of view of aquaculture, evolutionary biology and behavioural ecology. One of the forms of abnormal pigmentation is xanthism, expressed by the appearance of a yellow or orange colour. The article reports about the capture of a female common bream Abramis brama (Linnaeus, 1758) with abnormal xanthic colouration in the Znamensky Bay of the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir, Russian Federation (54°26'07.2\"N, 91°11'55.3\"E) in June 2020. The xanthic individual had a pinkish-orange colouration of the dorsal and sides of the body, and the pectoral fins. The pelvic, dorsal, caudal, and anal fins are dark orange in colour and almost brown at the tips. The aetiology of abnormal pigmentation as in this case is not always clear. It is assumed that this variation of the common bream pigmentation is caused by a non-pathological genetic mutation, as in the cases of many other fish species described in scientific literature currently.","PeriodicalId":37296,"journal":{"name":"Asian Fisheries Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41368019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lagoon ecosystem currently indicates signs of degradation that is apparently due to the continuous development and economic activities such as fisheries, agriculture and tourism. This study was undertaken with the aim of assessing the present status of fishery resources utilisation in Panama Lagoon. Accordingly, the lagoon fishery was monitored from February 2017 to December 2017 at three major landing sites where the daily catches brought by the fishers were sampled on a monthly basis (n = 119). During the study, a total number of 54 fish species from 30 families were recorded among which the members of the family Mugilidae contributed 28 % of the total catch. Fibreglass canoe with an outrigger was the only fishing craft used in the lagoon. Gill nets, cast net and pole and line were the fishing gears used in the lagoon. Around 80 % of the total catch had come from gill nets. The catch per unit effort (CPUE) for the gill nets was 3.53 ± 2.13 kg.boat -1 . It was 10.90 ± 6.02 kg.boat -1 and 1.10 ± 0.89 kg.boat -1 for the cast nets and the pole and line, respectively. The average CPUE during the study period was calculated at 4.85 ± 2.94 kg.boat -1 . In 2017 the total annual fish production of the Panama Lagoon was estimated as 1742.9 kg.km -2 yr -1 .

The plan proposes measures to help member states (MS) the proper implementation of antimicrobial stewardship practices to ensure optimal use of antimicrobials and puts forth proposals for new regulations on veterinary medicinal products and medicated feed currently undergoing the ordinary legislative procedure. As a MS, Croatia is putting significant efforts into training and awareness-raising to those who prescribe and use antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine.

In this paper, we summarise our research in Chile and review relevant literature to identify the issues that result in antibiotic treatment failure. The four basic issues we have found for explaining treatment failure include misdiagnoses, resistance, subtherapeutic antibiotic tissue concentrations in target organs, and insufficient treatment time for the elimination of the pathogen at the individual and population levels. Our hypotheses are based on salmonid aquaculture systems but likely apply to other aquaculture industries that use in-feed antibiotic treatments for bacterial infections. It is important to better understand the specific causes of treatment failure as they result in repeated treatments and increased pathogen exposure to subtherapeutic antibiotic levels. Both of these phenomena could increase the risk of antibiotic resistance over time.","PeriodicalId":37296,"journal":{"name":"Asian Fisheries Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46839059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, “The Philippine National Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance: One Health Approach” (PNAP) has evolved and continuously being improved. At present, studies on AMR and antimicrobial use in the Philippine aquatic sector are very limited. The BFAR participated in the FAO project FMM/RAS/298 Strengthening Capacities, Policies and National Action Plans on Prudent and Responsible Use of Antimicrobials in Fisheries which enhanced the understanding of AMR in aquaculture and laboratory capacity. As part of the project, a survey on the use of antimicrobials in Philippine aquaculture was conducted. Eighty four respondents from the shrimp and tilapia farming sectors and two aquaculture product suppliers participated. Results showed that antibiotics are no longer applied in participating grow-out farms monitored for residues and there has been no detection of antibiotics in shrimp or fish meat from registered farms.
