Low Ectoparasite Loads and Interactions With Cleaner Fish Among Amphiprion Anemonefish

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Interactions between ectoparasites, reef fishes and cleaner species are well documented; however, anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae) have been largely overlooked in this context. A hypothesis proposed as early as 1869 suggests that anemonefishes may experience reduced ectoparasite loads due to their symbiotic association with venomous host sea ...

Addressing a Flat‐Out Problem: Environmental DNA (eDNA) Exposes Silent Infestations of Acropora‐Eating Flatworms (Prosthiostomum acroporae) in Coral Aquaculture

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Captive coral aquaculture is increasingly important for both the aquarium trade and reef restoration, but production can be undermined by hard‐to‐detect pests such as the Acropora‐eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae. We developed and validated a highly sensitive ddPCR assay capable of detecting P.

Looking for Greener Pastures: In Vitro Screening of Phytogenics for the Control of Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Gilthead Sea Bream

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The gill parasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii poses a significant threat to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture in the Mediterranean, causing considerable mortality and economic losses. As traditional chemotherapeutic treatments, like formalin, face growing regulatory restrictions, there is an urgent need for alternative control ...

New Records and Descriptions of Three New Species of Quadriacanthus (Monopisthocotyla: Dactylogyridae) from Catfishes (Teleostei: Siluriformes, Clariidae) in the Upper Congo Basin

Animals
In the Upper Congo Basin, there are few records of monopisthocotylan parasites from clariids. More surveys of clariid fishes can lead to the discovery of multiple monopisthocotylan species that are new to the region or new to science.

Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

Elemental Requirements of Rearing Seawater for Unfed Larvae of the Japanese Eel (Anguilla japonica Temminck and Schlegel)

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study assessed the influence of salinity and element composition of rearing seawater on unfed Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) larvae at 5 days after hatching (DAH). First, no significant differences in larval survival were found between natural and artificial seawater across various container materials and sizes (50mL–20 L).
