SSU rRNA sequencing data for bacterial communities associated with infected rainbow trout (.

infection in aquacultured trout, besides its own harmful effects, can also make the fish more susceptible to other infections, both by swamping the host's immune system and by creating the skin lesions that serve as a direct gateway for opportunistic bacteria. Tissue samples were taken from the intestines, spleen and skin lesions of cage-grown rainbow trout suffering from natural infections of varying severity. In addition, a water sample was taken to document the planktonic bacteria inhabiting the fish farm at the time of the study.

Physiological and Biochemical Characteristics of Rainbow Trout with Severe, Moderate and Asymptomatic Course of Infection.

This article describes the clinical manifestation of natural infection in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during an outbreak on a fish farm. (i) Using an integrated approach, we characterized the pathogenesis of vibriosis from the morphological, hematological, and biochemical points of view. The molecular mechanisms associated with the host immune response were investigated using mass spectrometric analysis of trout plasma proteins.

[Zooplankton of Reservoirs in the Upper Reaches of the Kenti River System (Northern Karelia) under Long-Term Industrial Pollution Conditions].

An assessment is given for the contemporary state of zooplankton community in the waters of the upper reaches of the Kenti River system under the conditions of long-term potash-sulfate industrial pollution. This article presents a number of structural indicators of the zooplankton community that show simplification in the structure of species diversity and its reduction, as well as the disappearance of a number of systematic groups. It is noted that the number of zooplankton taxa increases with distance from the source of pollution (Kostomukshskoe and Kento lakes), and the average quantitative indicators also increase in this case.
