Description:
In recent years, aquatic diseases have damaged aquaculture industry in different areas of the world. Although
tilapias are known as resistant fish against different pathogens, but there are some reports about infectious
diseases of tilapia. Tilapia aquaculture in Iran is in the beginning stage. So, planning for hygiene observations
and preventing of disease prevalence must be considered.
Tilapia hatchery and indoor systems of National Research Center of Saline water Aquatics were monitored for
infectious disease from October 2012 to February 2014. Unusual locomotion/feeding or uncommon signs in the
shape or body surface of cultured tilapias, fries and eggs or exceed mortalities were mentioned for bacterial,
fungal, parasitic or viral pathogens.
Infectious agents in this study were bacteria Streptococcus and Edwardsiella, the fungi Penicillium and
Aspergillus and parasitic monogeneans Gyrodactylus and Dactylogyrus. No viral agent was diagnosed.
Although recorded pathogens were rarely observed during the study but much attention must be paid for hygiene
monitoring and instruction performance.
