Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of baseline data on pathogens in wild marine fish compared to documented issues in aquaculture.
- The study sampled 210 wild fish and 72 cultivated gilthead seabream over two years, focusing on Mycobacterium and Vibrio species, both known to affect fish health and are zoonotic.
- The findings revealed that Vibrio species prevalence was higher in wild fish in 2016 versus 2017, while Mycobacterium species increased in prevalence in cultivated fish from 2017 to 2018, showcasing the need for ongoing monitoring of these pathogens in marine environments.
This study is an initial description and discussion of the kidney and liver microbial communities of five common fish species sampled from four sites along the Eastern Mediterranean Sea shoreline. The goals of the present study were to establish a baseline dataset of microbial communities associated with the tissues of wild marine fish, in order to examine species-specific microbial characteristics and to screen for candidate pathogens. This issue is especially relevant due to the development of mariculture farms and the possible transmission of pathogens from wild to farmed fish and vice versa.

Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) and Streptococcus iniae have become major threats to marine aquaculture and have been detected in morbid marine organisms worldwide. However, despite their importance, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the prevalence of these pathogens in wild fish species.
