Amoebic gill disease of turbot Scophthalmus maximus L. associated with mortalities was repeatedly diagnosed at culture facilities in NW Spain. The agent was assigned to the genus Paramoeba Schaudin, 1896. Trophozoites found in the gill tissue as well as those cultured displayed most of the principal characteristics of P. pemaquidensis Page, 1970. The identity with P. pemaquidensis, known as an agent of gill diseases of salmonids, is yet to be assessed using non-morphological criteria.

Nodular gill disease (NGD) is a serious proliferative gill condition that affects farmed salmonids, particularly in Europe. While the cause of NGD remains unknown (and maybe multifactorial), various amoebae are often isolated from the gills of affected fish and can in some cases be seen associated with lesions by histopathology. The present study aimed to quantify the abundance of different amoeba species directly from the gills of rainbow trout affected by NGD and healthy controls.

The ability to distinguish between viable and non-viable protozoan parasites is central to improved human and animal health management. While conceptually simple, methods to differentiate cell viability in situ remain challenging. Amoebic gill disease, caused by Neoparamoeba perurans is a parasitic disease impacting Atlantic salmon aquaculture globally.

Gill health has become a significant global challenge for Atlantic salmon () aquaculture, particularly during the marine phase of farming. The increasing prevalence of gill pathologies has been linked to rising seawater temperatures, underscoring the need to evaluate existing tools for monitoring gill health and to develop novel approaches for early detection. In this study, we investigated the gill responses of commercially farmed Atlantic salmon to natural infection with during an outbreak of amoebic gill disease (AGD) in Tasmania.

Background: Understanding the relationship between resident microbiota and disease in cultured fish represents an important and emerging area of study. Marine gill disorders in particular are considered an important challenge to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture, however relatively little is known regarding the role resident gill microbiota might play in providing protection from or potentiating different gill diseases. Here, 16S rRNA sequencing was used to examine the gill microbiome alongside fish health screening in farmed Atlantic salmon.

The generic term "Gill disease" refers to a wide range of disorders that affect the gills and severely impact salmonid aquaculture systems worldwide. In rainbow trout freshwater aquaculture, various etiological agents causing gill diseases have been described, particularly Flavobacterium and Amoeba species, but research studies suggest a more complex and multifactorial aetiology. Here, a cohort of rainbow trout affected by gill disease is monitored both through standard laboratory techniques and 16S rRNA Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis during a natural disease outbreak and subsequent antibiotic treatment with Oxytetracycline.
