TOOL FOR COMPLEX DIAGNOSIS IN AQUACULTURE FARMS Infectious diseases in fish in aquaculture farms can be a complicated matter, especially in systems where water is recirculated (RAS). Researchers at DTU Aqua – Argelia Cuenca, Niccolò Vendramin, Lone Madsen and Juliane Sørensen – have devolved a powerful tool to assist in solving complex diagnosis in aquaculture farms, recently published in Scientific Reports: https://lnkd.in/gbaR-BUQ They have tested a microfluidic High Throughput qPCR chip to monitor and quantify all most important bacterial and viral salmonid pathogens during a 7-month survey in a recirculating aquaculture farm with severe accumulated mortality. Results were compared and validated against standard diagnostic and provide valuable insights into the pathobiome involved in complex disease in recirculating aquaculture systems. The researchers will be present at #Aqua2024 conference in Copenhagen later in August.

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀: 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat, and the aquaculture sector is no exception. The overuse of antibiotics in fish farming has led to the emergence of resistant bacterial strains, endangering not only aquatic animal health but also human health and food security. As the fastest-growing food production sector, aquaculture needs sustainable solutions to ensure its continued growth without compromising on health and safety. 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀: 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 Bacteriophages are viruses that exclusively infect and replicate within bacterial cells. Here's why they're gaining attention in aquaculture: 1. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, phages target specific bacterial species or strains, leaving beneficial bacteria unharmed. 2. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Phages multiply at the site of infection, increasing their effectiveness. 3. 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: They can evolve alongside bacteria, potentially overcoming resistance mechanisms. Over the past decades, research has identified key bacterial pathogens affecting farmed fish and shellfish. These primarily include species of 𝘝𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘰, 𝘌𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢, 𝘓𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴, 𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴, 𝘈𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴, and 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮. In response to these threats, scientists have conducted extensive investigations into the potential of phage therapy as a control measure. These studies have encompassed both laboratory-based (𝘐𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰) experiments and real-world (𝘐𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘰) trials within aquaculture settings. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 While the potential of phage therapy in aquaculture is exciting, several challenges need to be addressed: 1. 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: The development of appropriate regulations for phage-based products in aquaculture is crucial. 2. 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Methods for large-scale production and application of phages in diverse aquaculture settings need refinement. 3. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀: Although less likely than with antibiotics, bacteria can develop resistance to phages, necessitating ongoing research and development. 4. 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Educating stakeholders about the safety and benefits of phage therapy is essential for its widespread adoption.

The “one pathogen, one disease” theory is shifting to complex multiple pathogen disease cases. One example of this is in aquaculture, where recirculating aquaculture systems are used to reduce water consumption and wastewater generation, but growing production is leading to increased risk of introducing pathogens at farming sites. New research from DTU - Technical University of Denmark and published in Scientific Reports provides potential for early detection and prevention with a method of detecting multiple pathogens and putative pathogens responsible for co-infections in aquaculture. The method uses high-throughput qPCR on the Standard BioTools™ 48.48 dynamic array to screen for a large number of pathogens simultaneously, allowing rapid repeated sampling and enabling an understanding of trends and fluctuations in relative pathogen loads that could be predictive of increased health risks or disease outbreaks.

In low- and middle-income countries, data on antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquaculture are scarce. This new published review paper highlights critical findings that emphasize the public health risks and calls for coordinated efforts to improve surveillance and regulation of antimicrobial use in aquaculture, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices to protect both public health and the aquaculture industry. Key Highlights: - Prevalence of AMR: The review found a high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among bacteria isolated from fish, with Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus spp. showing particularly high multidrug resistance rates. - Common Antimicrobials: Tetracycline was the most commonly used antimicrobial, leading to significant residue levels in fish. - Regional Data: Most studies originated from West Africa, reflecting regional variations in antimicrobial practices and resistance patterns. - Public Health Implications: The findings underscore the need for better data on AMU and AR in African aquaculture to inform effective public health strategies and mitigate AMR risks.

🌊 World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) 🌍 📅 November 18 - 24 Let's join the global campaign to raise awareness about Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and its impact on health, aquaculture, and the environment. 💡 What is AMR? AMR happens when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites become resistant to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of severe illness and death. It's a shared threat to humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems. 🐟 AMR in Aquaculture Aquaculture species, especially in shrimp farming, are vulnerable to AMR, primarily due to: Excessive use of antimicrobial veterinary medicines Intensive fish-farming practices Introduction of new aquaculture species Expansion of the ornamental fish trade 🚨 Impacts of AMR: ⚠️ Human Health: Resistant bacteria can spread to humans via food consumption. ⚠️ Aquaculture: Drug resistance weakens animal immunity and promotes virulent bacteria. ⚠️ Environment: AMR spreads to ecosystems, disrupting natural balance. 📊 The most reported AMR in aquaculture includes beta-lactams, tetracycline, sulpha groups, and multi-drug resistance, with alarming frequencies above 40%. 🌱 Let's Act Responsibly: Use antibiotics cautiously in aquaculture. Promote sustainable farming practices. Preserve aquatic health for a safer future. 💙 Together, we can tackle AMR. #AntimicrobialAwarenessWeek #WAAW #AMRinAquaculture #SustainableAquaculture #HealthyEcosystems
