AI Article Synopsis
- A lymphocystis-like disease caused bleeding lesions on pacora fish in freshwater aquaculture in northern Colombia, leading to increased stress sensitivity.
- The condition resulted in the fish being removed from a project assessing their aquaculture viability.
- More research and microscopic examination are needed to understand this disease better since lymphocystis is generally considered less harmful.
Article Abstract
A lymphocystis-like condition produced hemorrhagic lesions over the bodies of pacora Plagioscion surinamensis (Bleeker) (Perciformes: Sciaenidae) held in freshwater aquaculture in northern Colombia and increased their sensitivity to handling stress. This disease eliminated this fish from a project evaluating its aquaculture potential. Lymphocystis disease is assumed to be less damaging to the host. This condition requires more study and histological evaluation.
