Microbiome and Pathobiome Characterization in Farmed Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) During and Post Scale Drop Disease Outbreaks

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale double‐digest RAD sequencing (ddRADseq) datasets generated for genotyping are increasingly available in aquaculture, yet their unmapped reads remain largely unexplored for pathogen surveillance. Here, we evaluated the utility and limitations of repurposing unmapped ddRADseq reads to examine pathogen‐associated and disease ...

Lymphocystis Disease in Endemic Aotearoa New Zealand Bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We detected lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) for the first time in an Aotearoa New Zealand freshwater environment, from an individual common bully, toitoi, Gobiomorphus cotidianus (Eleotridae). Dinah's bully, Gobiomorphus dinae, and Kaharore bully, Gobiomorphus mataraerore, also exhibited gross nodular lesions on the fins but were not sampled.

Development and Validation of a Viability RT‐qPCR Assay for Detecting Infectious Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a contagious pathogen associated with significant mortality and economic losses in freshwater aquaculture. Although reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) enables rapid detection, it does not distinguish between infectious and non‐infectious viral particles, which may lead to overestimation of ...

Viral Pathogens Threatening Cage‐Cultured Nile Tilapia in Lake Victoria: Epidemiology, Emerging Risks and Integrated Health Management Strategies

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cage culture for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Lake Victoria is central to food security and profitable development in East Africa. Nevertheless, viral conditions affect the sustainability of this sector, with significant imbalances in livelihood, trade and aquaculture adaptability.

Fish health, environmental contaminants, and disease management in Ghanaian aquaculture: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Fish health significantly influences aquaculture productivity, sustainability, food security, and public health. Despite Ghana's rapid aquaculture expansion, the sector remains constrained by widespread disease outbreaks and environmental threats. This systematic review synthesizes existing literature (2010–2024) to comprehensively assess fish

Evaluation of a novel TaqMan probe-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for detection and quantitation of red sea bream iridovirus

open access: yesFisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021
The red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) belonging to genus Megalocytivirus is responsible for red sea bream iridoviral disease (RSIVD) in marine and freshwater fishes. Although several diagnostic

Detection of Unauthorized Tilapia Species Circulating in Cage Farms on Lake Volta

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Akosombo strain of Nile tilapia is the only approved tilapia strain for culture in Ghana. In this study, exotic red tilapia suspected to be cultured in fish farms within the Lower Volta River Basin of the Lake Volta were collected for species identification based on their morphological features.

Viral Disease Histopathology in Aquaculture Finfish: Organ‐Specific Pathological Changes and Diagnostic Insights, Referencing the World Organisation for Animal Health: A Review

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aquaculture industry faces significant challenges from viral diseases, many of which are listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as priority pathogens due to their impact on global finfish health and production. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the histopathology of key WOAH‐listed viral pathogens, including ...

Comparative Genomics of Lactococcus spp. From Global Aquaculture Outbreaks Reveals Virulence Determinants, Antibiotic Resistance, and Phage Defence Mechanisms

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Lactococcus petauri predominated in isolates from outbreaks of lactococcosis, suggesting a shift in disease aetiology. Genomic analysis revealed diverse virulence factors, prophage and resistance genes, while antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed uniform resistance to common antibiotics found in farming systems, emphasising the need for ...
