🚀 Exciting advancements in aquaculture! Following on from our recent article in The Fish Site (https://lnkd.in/d8u95tt4), its exciting to see the promising work from the Fish-AI project, which developed an innovative artificial intestine platform to support preliminary dietary rankings ahead of live animal trials. Here are three key highlights: ⚗ Cutting-edge Technology: The platform uses fish intestinal cell lines and a dual-chamber system to simulate the fish gut, enabling comprehensive analysis of nutrient absorption and intestinal health. ♻ Sustainability Focus: By providing a preliminary ranking of diets without live animal trials, it saves time and resources, promoting sustainable aquaculture practices. 👩🔬👨🔬 Collaborative Effort: This groundbreaking project is a collaboration between top universities and companies, showcasing the power of teamwork in scientific innovation. The closing out presentation of the outcomes of the project is scheduled for the 26th November in Norway.

Adriana Triga, Zeenat Atinuke Issa, Maria Smyrli, Linda Fenske, Pantelis Katharios Virulence and pangenome analysis of Vibrio harveyi strains from Greek and Red Sea marine aquaculture, Aquaculture, Volume 587, 2024, 740839, ISSN 0044-8486 https://lnkd.in/dDH-uEVm. (https://lnkd.in/dQPNPAci) Comparative genomic analysis of Vibrio harveyi, a leading pathogen in Mediterranean aquaculture, was conducted to assess the genomic plasticity of the species. V. harveyi is responsible for vibriosis outbreaks during the warmer months, resulting in significant economic losses that impact Greek aquaculture. Over a span of six years, we curated a diverse collection of bacterial strains associated with these outbreaks. Whole-genome sequencing was employed in 21 strains to uncover their evolutionary relationships and virulence factors. Pangenome analysis revealed significant gene gain/loss, with numerous unique genes within the strains. The core genome featured genes associated with pathogenicity, including secretion systems, flagella, pili, siderophores, and toxins. Furthermore, we examined the phenotypic traits and virulence of these strains using in vivo testing with gilthead seabream larvae. Our findings indicated variant metabolic profiles and virulence among the strains during these in vivo assays. By integrating genomic and phenotypic data, our study highlights the ongoing evolution of disease-associated V. harveyi strains, which pose a growing challenge to the aquaculture industry.

The potential of actinobacteria to improve health in aquaculture 🐟🔬 Disease outbreaks due to various factors are major concern in aquaculture. Most aquatic pathogens are opportunistic and any imbalance in the host-pathogen-environment triad will result in a disease outbreak. There is a constant search for new therapies, such as natural microbial strains that can be used as beneficial probiotics and bioaugmentants in culture systems.   Within this area, various studies have demonstrated the probiotic and bioremediation potential of several species of Actinobacteria that can be applied in aquaculture. Actinobacteria are Gram-positive, filamentous bacteria and represent one of the largest groups. They are widely distributed in terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats.   Actinobacteria, especially Streptomyces, can be applied for disease prevention, treatment and bioremediation of organic and inorganic wastes in culture systems. Growth, immunity and resistance to aquatic pathogens in cultured organisms are also improved thanks to their ability to release potent antimicrobial compounds, bioactive molecules and new enzymes. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and quorum quenching activity can be well exploited against aquatic pathogens that form quorum sensing biofilms.   In the article “Applications of Actinobacteria in aquaculture: prospects and challenges” –carried out by a team of researchers from India– the applications, challenges and perspectives are analyzed precisely of actinobacteria in aquaculture. Research gaps are also highlighted which, if cleared, should pave the way for better understanding and utilization in aquaculture. #actinobacteria #bacteria #aquaculture #health #fishhealth #ram   Source: James, G., Prasannan Geetha, P., Thavarool Puthiyedathu, S. et al.

This process is important for the aquaculture industry, as bacterial diseases can cause significant losses in production due to the death of fish or shellfish, or the inability to market the affected product. Diagnostics can help identify the pathogen and prevent the spread of the disease, as well as provide insight into the underlying causes of the infection. 👉 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 & 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 The key restraints and challenges in Bacterial Diagnostics in Aquaculture market include the high cost of diagnostic tests, lack of access to advanced technologies, and limited availability of trained personnel. Bacterial diagnostics in aquaculture is a very expensive process due to the high cost of diagnostic tests. These tests require sophisticated laboratory equipment, reagents, and other materials that are not readily available. The cost of these materials is high and can be a major barrier for aquaculture farmers who are trying to diagnose and treat bacterial diseases. Most aquaculture farmers are unable to access advanced technologies, such as real-time PCR, due to the high cost of the equipment and the lack of trained personnel. This limits the ability of aquaculture farmers to accurately diagnose bacterial diseases in a timely manner, leading to delayed treatment and potentially the spread of the disease. The lack of trained personnel is another major challenge in the bacterial diagnostics in aquaculture market. Diagnostic tests require skilled technicians to accurately interpret the results and provide treatment recommendations. However, there is a limited availability of trained personnel in the aquaculture industry, which can lead to inaccurate results and delayed treatment. 👉 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 Ziva Impex Pvt.

📃Scientific paper: Impact of captivity and natural habitats on gut microbiome in Epinephelus akaara across seasons Abstract: Background The gut microbiota significantly influences the health and growth of red-spotted grouper ( Epinephelus akaara ), a well-known commercial marine fish from Fujian Province in southern China. However, variations in survival strategies and seasons can impact the stability of gut microbiota data, rendering it inaccurate in reflecting the state of gut microbiota. Which impedes the effective enhancement of aquaculture health through a nuanced understanding of gut microbiota. Inspired by this, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the gut microbiota of wild and captive E. akaara in four seasons. Results Seventy-two E. akaara samples were collected from wild and captive populations in Dongshan city, during four different seasons . Four sections of the gut were collected to obtain comprehensive information on the gut microbial composition and sequenced using 16S rRNA next-generation Illumina MiSeq. We observed the highest gut microbial diversity in both captive and wild E. akaara during the winter season, and identified strong correlations with water temperature using Mantel analysis. Compared to wild E. akaara , we found a more complex microbial network in captive E. akaara, as evidenced by increased abundance of Bacillaceae , Moraxellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae . In contrast, Vibrionaceae , Clostridiaceae , Flavobacteriaceae and Rhodobacteraceae were found to be more active in wild E. akaara. However, some core microorganisms, such as Firmicutes and Photobac... Continued on ES/IODE ➡️ https://etcse.fr/jSL ------- If you find this interesting, feel free to follow, comment and share.
