The presence of Yersinia ruckeri in a French fish farm was investigated. Y. ruckeri was isolated mainly from algae and sediment samples rather than from water. Twenty-two Y. ruckeri isolates were obtained, and three strains were distinguished by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR amplification. These strains were able to adhere to solid supports. This characteristic was correlated with flagellum-mediated motility. Killing experiments showed that sessile cells were more resistant to oxolinic acid than their planktonic counterparts. Our results demonstrate that surface colonization of fish farm tanks by Y. ruckeri biofilms is a potential source of recurrent infection for extended periods of time.

Probiotics are increasingly considered as an alternative to antibiotics in developing environmentally sustainable aquaculture practices. Hybrid sturgeon (Acipenser baerii ♀ × Acipenser schrenckii ♂), a globally popular species valued for its nutritional content and caviar, has limited research on host-associated probiotics. In this study, we isolated and identified Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens from healthy hybrid sturgeon and assessed their impact on growth, immunity, gut microbiota, and transcriptome following an 8-week feeding trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (MCSFR) in rainbow trout, identifying four gene variants, including two previously unrecognized, and explores their expression levels in various tissues.
- The protein structure of MCSFRs includes five immunoglobulin-like domains and suggests a conserved function across species.
- Following infection with Yersinia ruckeri, different MCSFR paralogues exhibit unique expression patterns, showing complex regulatory mechanisms influenced by various stimuli, enhancing the understanding of immune responses in fish.
Embryonic Temperature Influences the Mucosal Responses of Atlantic Salmon Alevins to a Bacterial Challenge.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on how different embryonic temperatures (4°C, 6°C, and 8°C) impact Atlantic salmon alevins’ survival and immune responses when exposed to the bacteria Yersinia ruckeri.
- Alevins from the 4°C and 6°C groups had higher survival rates compared to those from the 8°C group after a 72-hour infection period.
- Gene expression analysis indicated distinct immune responses, with specific genes showing upregulation or downregulation based on temperature, suggesting that lower embryonic temperatures enhance immune defenses in salmon alevins.
