Current Parasitic and Fungal Disease Issues in Marine Aquaculture

Remziye Eda YardımcıEmre TurgayTerje M. SteinumSüheyla Karataş

Parasites, which develop complex strategies for living and exploiting their hosts, form the largest group that causes disease in marine fish, including species with direct or indirect life cycles, species-specific as well as those with low host specificity that can infect more than one host. Among the parasites with a wide taxonomy from unicellular (protozoan) to multicellular (metazoan), the most common group in cultured fish is protozoan ectoparasites. In a review study in which the parasitic diseases of the three fish species (sea bass, sea bream, meagre) that are most intensively farmed in Mediterranean aquaculture were evaluated according to the criteria of causing high mortality rates and incidence of epidemics; Cryptocaryon irritans from ciliates, Amyloodinium ocellatum from dinoflagellates, Enteromyxum leii from myxozoa, Sparicotyle chrysophrii from monogeneans, Ceratothoa oestroides from isopods were stated as the main parasitic pathogens (Cascarano et al., 2021). In the same study, Trichodina spp. and Philasterides dicentrarchi from the ciliates; flagellate Ichthyobodo spp.; apicomplexa group coccidiosis agents Cryptosporidium molnari, Eimeria and Goussia species; myxozoa Ceratomyxa and Kudoa species (Kudoa dicentrarchi), Sphaerospora testicularis, Sphaerospora sparis; monogeneans Diplectanum aequans, Diplectanum sciaenae, Encotyllabe spari, Lamellodiscus spp., Lamellodiscus echeneis, Polylabris sp.; nematodes Anisakis sp. and Hysterothylacium sp., copepods Lernanthropus kroyeri and Caligus species are mentioned as minor parasitic pathogens (Cascarano et al., 2021).
