Q

why can hypoxia occur?

A

summer: increase of algae,
winter: ince - cessation of photosynthesis
due to transportation: increase in swimming activity
cage: temperature/water inversion

  • path: pale gill, ascites, splenomegaly, pale liver (internal pathology predominates)
  • 1st sign (peduncle) = damaged fin tip, rough appearance on skin, ulcers surrounded by yellow pigmented bacterial colonies (external pathology predominates)
115
Q

rainbow trout fry syndrome (sample, treatment, control)

116
Q

carp erythrodermatitis (entry, transmission)

A
  • enters through damaged skin (skin injury, spawning, summer)
  • horizontal
  • bacterium penetrates through skin erosions and multiples locally, inflammatory process developed so necrosis occurs. osmotic imbalance due to breakdown of skin integrity
117

carp erythrodermatitis cause:

A

gram negative - aeromonas salmonicidia

118
Q

signs of carp erythrodermatitis

A

primary sign is ulcer = spherical, red necrotic centres and white peripheries

119
Q

sample and control of carp erythrodermatitis

sample: clinical, blood agar
control: prevent access of birds

120
Q

columnar - saddle back disease (conditions, transmission)

A
  • poor water quality, high temp and stress

who does columnaris affeect

A

all fresh water fish
young

123
Q

signs of columnaris

A
  • localised infection but may progress to septicaemia
  • skin: increase in mucus on head + upper body, circular areas of greyish growht
  • fins: lesions extend from distal to base, encircling fish (looks like saddle)
  • gills: whitish spots on filament tips
  • lesions covered with yellowish white mucous
124
Q

sample and prevention of columnaris

A

sample: skin + gill swab, isolation on special media
