A case of juvenile red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) showing body deformity due to spinal curvature was investigated. Approximately 20% of the crop (4,000 fish/crop) was affected. Bacterial isolation from the kidney and tissue surrounding the spinal lesion of the affected fish was negative. Histopathology revealed granulomatous inflammation and Gram-positive cocci in connective tissues around the bone and notochord. PCR assay confirmed the presence of S. agalactiae in the spinal tissue lesion. Spinal deformity in red tilapia observed in our study may be associated with the inflammatory process and granuloma that compress the skeleton structure. The present study highlights chronic streptococcosis in tilapia culture that may be unnoticed.

Sea cucumbers paradoxically suffer from being both highly prized and commonly disregarded. As an Asian medicine and delicacy, they command fabulous prices and are thus overfished, poached, and trafficked. As noncharismatic animals, many are understudied and inadequately protected.

Iron oxide nanoparticles, recognized for their superparamagnetic properties, are promising for future healthcare therapies. However, their extensive use in medicine and electronics contributes to their discharge into our environments, highlighting the need for further research on their cellular damage effects on aquatic organisms. While the detrimental properties of other compounds have been stated in the early-life stages of fish, the cytotoxic consequences of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in these stages are still unexplored.

This study investigated the effects of bamboo shoot extract (Bambusa vulgaris) as a feed additive on the health profiles and infection resistance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Pseudomonas putida. Bamboo shoot extract was added at levels of 0 g, 40 g, and 60 g per 1000 g of diet over a 60-day period. The fish were then challenged with a pathogenic P.
