Aquaculture is crucial for meeting global seafood demand; however, intensification often leads to the development of bacterial diseases that threaten productivity. Dicentrarchus labrax, a key species in European aquaculture, is highly vulnerable to vibriosis, primarily caused by Vibrio harveyi. This study investigates genetic diversity of V.

The spatial and temporal dynamics of were studied on a European seabass farm in northern France during seven months of 2022.

An alternative strategy involves the inclusion of immunostimulants in fish diets, especially fungal and herbal compounds already authorized for human consumption, hence without environmental or public health concerns. In this study, we used a holistic and cross-disciplinary pipeline to assess the immunostimulatory properties of two fungi: Trametes versicolor and Ganoderma lucidum; one herbal supplement, capsaicin in the form of Espelette pepper (Capsicum annuum), and a combination of these fungal and herbal additives on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

This disease is responsible for mass mortality events and important economic losses on aquaculture farms. Improvements in surveillance and diagnosis are needed to successfully manage vibriosis outbreaks.

Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA)-producing Pseudomonas fluorescens strain LBUM223 isolated in our laboratory shows biocontrol potential against various plant pathogens. To characterize the effect of LBUM223 on the transcriptome of P.
