Channel catfish virus (CCV) poses a significant threat to catfish culture. Lack of effective vaccines and antiviral treatments necessitates effective disinfection strategies to mitigate its spread. In vitro trials indicated the virus to be inactivated at high temperatures, but was infectious at 40°C.

Edwardsiella piscicida is an emerging bacterial pathogen and the aetiological agent of edwardsiellosis among cultured and wild fish species globally. The increased frequency of outbreaks of this Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen pose not only a threat to the aquaculture industry but also a possible foodborne/waterborne public health risk due to the ill-defined zoonotic potential. Thus, understanding the role of temperature on the virulence of this emerging pathogen is essential for comprehending the pathogenesis of piscine edwardsiellosis in the context of current warming trends associated with climate change, as well as providing insight into its zoonotic potential.

This study evaluated the supplementation of iron and copper nanoparticles in channel catfish diets and their influences on growth and health. A comparative feeding trial was carried out for 9 weeks to evaluate combinations of iron and copper nanoparticles: only iron nanoparticles (IronNP), only copper nanoparticles (CopperNP), CopperNP + IronNP, and a control diet supplemented with inorganic iron and copper (FeSO and CuSO). After a 9-week feeding trial, growth performance, hematological parameters, whole-body proximate composition, and intestinal microbiota were evaluated, and fish were subjected to a bacterial challenge against Edwardsiella ictaluri to evaluate the contribution of the experimental treatments to fish health status.

The production of silage using fish viscera can be carried out with straightforward methods and permits the exploitation of nutrients that are usually discarded. This process fosters the concept of circular aquaculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of increasing levels of fish viscera silage (VS) on the physical quality of the feed pellets and their effects on their growth performance, health parameters and on economic indices when the experimental extruded feed was offered to tambaqui.

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing food production technology, but there are significant concerns related to its environmental impact and adverse social effects. We examine aquaculture outcomes in a three pillars of sustainability framework by analyzing data collected using the Aquaculture Performance Indicators. Using this approach, comparable data has been collected for 57 aquaculture systems worldwide on 88 metrics that measure social, economic, or environmental outcomes.

In 2019, an unusual gill disease caused by massive burdens of another myxozoan, , was described in channel () × blue () hybrid catfish. Targeted metagenomic sequencing and hybridization (ISH) were used to differentiate these conditions by comparing myxozoan communities involved in lesion development and disease pathogenesis between massive infections and PGD cases.

The increasing population and plateaued capture fishery landings have led to increasing demand for aquaculture products. However, environmental challenges are critical barriers to the sustainable development of aquaculture in developing countries. This review critically evaluates the environmental barriers facing aquaculture development in Bangladesh while laying out a roadmap for future development and spatial planning.

Enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC), caused by the gram-negative enteric bacteria Edwardsiella ictaluri, is a significant threat to catfish aquaculture in the southeastern United States. Antibiotic intervention can reduce mortality; however, antibiotic use results in an imbalance, or dysbiosis, of the gut microbiota, which may increase susceptibility of otherwise healthy fish to enteric infections. Herein, recovery of the intestinal microbiota and survivability of channel catfish in response to ESC challenge was evaluated following a 10-day course of florfenicol and subsequent probiotic or prebiotic supplementation.

To prevent catfish idiopathic anaemia, diets fortified with iron have been adopted as a regular practice on commercial catfish farms to promote erythropoiesis. However, the effects of prolonged exposure of excess dietary iron on production performance and disease resistance for hybrid catfish (Ictalurus punctatus × I. furcatus) remains unknown.

Commercial aquaculture production of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) occurs in shallow ponds with daily cycling of dissolved oxygen concentration ranging from supersaturation to severe hypoxia. Once daily minimum dissolved oxygen concentration falls below 3.0 mg O/L, channel catfish have a reduced appetite, leading to reduced growth rates.
