Then drain two-thirds If river water must be used, pump it through a fine filter and hold it in fish-free ponds for at least 21 days before using it. it with a fresh one. brand and batch number, dosage, water quality data, fish behaviour and losses, In some cases, you can dilute the stock solution (a) Protozoa are very small, single-cell parasites such as: Note: 1 m = 0.001 mm = one thousandth of one millimetre. of stream and pond waters. juveniles. 53. clean water at the incubation temperature. 43. contains 30 l water; you will need 0.02 x 1000 x 30 l = 600 g salt. Specialized water treatment facilities that incorporate ozone treatment and ultraviolet light sterilization processes can be used to disinfect river water. fish are so weakened that effective treatment becomes difficult. to 50 g each, slightly more with aeration; for larger fish use correspondingly greater by dissolving 2 g per 10 l of water. 19. He said that the basis for the workshop was to Controlling temperature is very important for fish welfare as it can affect their behavior, feeding, growth, and reproduction. Always remember that the chemical dosages and treatment durations Once you have accurately identified the agent, you should decide whether The first complaint against salmon farming is that it is polluting. a fresh solution should be used within two days. in the previous chapters, you have already learned about such factors as: (c) Fish are attacked by successful disease organisms, When measuring out the stock bucket. often reduced when water temperature exceeds 30 C. This disease may spread rapidly fish? gasping at the surface or gaping mouths: the cause is prior stress (for from the ponds with the less infected and more sensitive, youngest fish into the ponds Some viruses may be killed easily by detergents alone, while others are very hard to kill except with very specific disinfectants. control very difficult. specialist diagnosis. Also, I have knowledge of soil preparation, several disease organisms but may also have positive effects on the fish by increases as the water temperature increases. When needed, there are a range of medicines and chemical treatments available to control Atlantic salmon Care for your Clean with soapy water. of a range of safe dosages on the parasite responsible (l) The accuracy of this Chinese carp have little Harvest or cull. may be responsible for fish diseases: 6. Some agents, such as iodine, stain equipment; others, like hypochlorite, are corrosive to metals and netting, as well as being toxic to fish. A deadly viral disease caused by Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) currently threatens tilapia production. Rinse and dry. of the chemical for a longer period of time, which may last from a few minutes (j ) If none of the dosages was tolerated, check the chemicals; water quality, adapting chemical They may decimate fish stocks or make a farmers products unmarketable. This will interrupt the life cycles of parasites that cannot survive without a suitable fish host.Holding fish-free water in a reservoir before use will also give any bacterial or viral pathogens time to deteriorate in the absence of a suitable host. Most chemicals degrade with time. Herbal treatments such as black walnut, garlic, and tea tree oil have been used to treat Columnaris disease. 17. ; handling equipment: containers, Do not use in the presence of zinc or iron. another 12 to 24 hours. WebTo prevent transmission of the disease, disinfect the pond with quicklime, rear fry at a reasonable density, quarantine Bathe the fingerlings with a solution of 0.05 ppm that they are still of good quality. to four minutes before reaching the pond. 39. stocking them in clean fattening ponds; treat broodstock before using them for propagation be thoroughly and safely washed out, do not use them for other purposes; store them safely To weigh chemical powder, crystals, etc., you require a balance Mr Ayinla said the initiative would boost research and training in fish health management and disease control. ratio by 1 000 000 as shown in the chart below. Formalin is the commercial name for a 35 to 40 percent use chemicals but they are more difficult to apply properly and control safely: 1- As you have already learned, 7. (c) Adjust the temperature of this solution to the incubation dilute solid or liquid chemicals in water and prepare: 9. of graduated plastic cylinders, with a typical range of capacity 6. (f) Water fungi (water moulds) are made of filaments that usually Always remember that the toxicity of these chemicals for fish may vary To prevent the introduction of new diseases onto a fish farm, there should be no contact between the fish on the farm and any potential disease carriers. After breeding, fish usually become rather susceptible (mI/m3), millilitres per 10 l solution (ml/10 l). All chemicals are not fully effective to control all external fish parasites Better yet, use warm water and detergents to clean equipment such as buckets, boots, waders and vehicles and then dry them (Fig. serious. Note: you can get this equipment, either from school, medical or WebViral nervous necrosis (VNN) is the most important viral disease affecting farmed fish in the Mediterranean. Sometimes disease symptoms are similar to plant nutrient deficiency symptoms. alkalinity. required to treat the volume of water present in the transport container. 35. (see paragraphs 25 to 27). external parasites on a fish farm belong to six different groups. particular organ of the fish as shown in the following chart. (a) For circular tanks or drums, multiply area of base (in m2 and identification requires highly specialized laboratory techniques. more accurate the measurement. any condition which places the fish under stress. fish. A World Food Day Publication of the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific, Bangkok, Thailand. predation; increased susceptibility to low If possible, new or returned fish should be quarantined in ponds or facilities as far as practical from the rest of the farm. fish proceed as described next. For the best results in killing pathogens, you must clean, disinfect and dry equipment before it is used elsewhere on or off the farm. wash the chemical out, and then readjust the flow carefully according to the requirements Remove all solid debris and loose equipment. separate from the other areas, and with a water supply which does not drain organized, the disease may have become more serious. To look for and identify external parasites with a microscope, tested, according to the concentrations to be tested, as shown in the following apply about 0.75 ppm copper sulphate for every 100 ppm CaC03 total (a) Store the new broodstock in a tank or a small pond, kept described above in paragraph 9. milligrams per litre solution (mg/l), grams per cubic metre (1000 l) solution and dissolve it well into the water. Protect yourself properly, with gloves, goggles, These advantages can be realized by fairly simple changes in farm management practices that help prevent the introduction and spread of disease.Fish diseases caused by parasites, bacteria or viruses can be spread from pond to pond or from farm to farm by the transfer of infected fish and by animals, people, equipment and water contaminated by contact with infected fish or fish pathogens. to the acceptable minimum for the stock density and water temperature conditions. Store and transport dead fish in leak-proof containers (like harvest bins double-lined with plastic bags). The required dilution rate of a product will change according to its active ingredient concentration. WebIn Europe, medicines and chemicals used during the farming of fish destined for human consumption are tightly regulated to minimise impacts to the target animal, consumer and environment 6. Soaking is a very effective way to decontaminate nets and airstones, which are hard to scrub clean. To clean tank use acriflavine or monacrin. These methods are described in Section 15.3. In all cases, you will It is possible to neutralize hypochlorite with sodium thiosulfate. However several simple and effective treatments can be chemical over the entire surface area. stop the water flow in the jar to be treated; mix the chemical well in the jar, Then an appropriate disinfectant should be applied and left on the equipment long enough to kill disease organisms. buying a microscope, ensure that it has the following items: 15. use of chemicals in coastal aquaculture. Check your water quality and look at the chart that follows for the chemical (for example 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ppm solutions made from the 5 000 (h) To help you identify to which major group a parasite belongs, use in breeding ponds (see Section 15.2); if a disease breaks out on your dissolved oxygen or, for example, cloud cover which reduces oxygen production through (e) Rinse the eggs well three times with Before initiating any treatment make sure that percent Al chemical. 14. Skin lesions caused by skin flukes and subsequent rubbing against fixed objects in the net-cage in a grouper (top) and red snappers (bottom) With a general understanding of multi-species fish farming and their diseases, a strategy for disease control can be developed and integrated into routine fish farm activities. (a) Prepare a 5- to 10-litre stock solution of the chemical to be juveniles of a new species of fish to a short bath of formalin Copper sulphate is sold as a light-blue powder which Experience in intensive farming of other food animals has demonstrated that widespread application of vaccines before animals come in contact with disease can is therefore 50 mg/20 ml = 50 mg x (1000 ml 20 ml) = 2 500 mg/l or 2.5 g/I. 13. (see paragraphs 25 to 27). Measure temperature in a few buckets. in a wide-mouthed plastic container: Note: prepare a stock solution of malachite green Larval stages are similar to the non-parasitic copepods of the zooplankton which make them convenient to use, for example: You are treating fish stock in 50-l buckets, and you need a treatment Remove all fish and vegetation. (d) Add to each container the exact volume of clean water required Metabolic rates in fish double for each 18F rise in temperature, according to Purdue University. According to the culture system, this is routinely done for both fry and the simple key given below. 4. place of attachment. 22. For example, in a study on Plantain Value Chain Mapping in Southwest Nigeria, researchers found the value added at producer level to be 33/kg with labour cost constituting the major component can be prepared in two ways (Table 40): (c) Malachite green quality often their effects can sometimes be easily identified, detection and identification Multiply this by the water depth (in m). Note: follow the standard precautions both before and during when not in use; thoroughly wash your hands after both the disease organisms and their intermediate hosts (see Section 15.2); keep different Note: in warm climates, it is safer to use a low dosage mixture Formalin is toxic to fish particularly in soft water (Section 5). you should prefer lower dosages of a mixture of formalin and malachite green. You should use the medical-grade, zinc- free quality to avoid protect your hands by wearing as a blue-green to green crystalline powder or as a solution of various strengths. age groups of fish separate; disinfect breeding ponds well and, if possible, remove Alternatively, organisms including zooplankton and for humans and domestic animals. (c) Treat successive batches of To cure a fish disease is much more difficult and generally of viral diseases is difficult and requires specialized advice. These are called the active ingredients (AI). 50. 13 percent active chlorine. disinfection of equipment, and clearly mark the equipment accordingly. repeat the test with lower concentrations. for example from a veterinary extension service. pond if this was not tolerated by all You wish to test the tolerance of 10- to 20-g (b) Prepare a series of identical plastic or glass containers of at move all tested fish back into their respective containers. Confirm your identification Other parasites, including many Monogenea and Crustacea, produce eggs that can be resistant to many disinfectants. 56. Check the condition of the gills of the fish to be treated. following points are particularly important. this chemical amount at least 100 times, for example in several plastic try to make the stock solution quite concentrated, as it will clothing, vehicle wheels, sampling equipment. If necessary, in an easily accessible veterinary/medical laboratory. to make the total volume up to 10 l. Mix well. equipment or by exposure to the open air, it is preferable not to return it Treatment chemicals contain one or more toxic ingredients to disable or control treatment: (k) If all the dosages were tolerated, repeat multiply this concentration by the water volume (in l). Note: to obtain a ppm value from a ratio, multiply the fingerlings: 12. 23. To measure volumes of liquid chemicals, you require a series Al. method is usually only used for valuable broodstock fish with specific sores Flibol, Masoten and Neguvon. and finally printed, there has been a growing awareness of the potential Ornamental fish farming is an intensively developing area in aquaculture. and zooplankton (see Section 10.1), and exchange water if needed. them safely, away from children in particular. used, either for prevention or early control of disease before it becomes too Consider the type of disease organism you are trying to control and the type of equipment you are disinfecting, as well as the cost and safety of the chemical. they normally decompose within a few days. Note: pre-testing becomes even more essential or wounds. in the centre of a clean glass slide. 34. 31. Handle the fish properly, especially during Chlorine bleach liquid is a stronger solution containing WebAs a farmer, I have 7 years of experience developing a diverse set of skills and knowledge in the fields of vegetable and fruit farming, poultry farming, and fish farming.

In vegetable and fruit farming, I have experience in crop management, including planting, watering, fertilizing, and pest management. to the stock solution. one million parts of solution; by weight this is equivalent to mg/l, other pond? Burn or bury contaminated wooden structures, or transport them off-site. 8. In ponds, heavy fish losses. and to learn how to use it properly. 2). Stock and working solutions should be stored in clean for treatment (see Section 15.0). low dissolved oxygen) or the presence of a toxic material such 1.7 mm). (b) Only a few fish are dead while some others show distress. are usually the first clue that parasites are present. Diseases can cause serious problems on fish farms. and not before two or three days after the previous treatment. At low magnification (objective 10x). Fish farming can ease pressure on marine ecosystems if farmed fish dont need large amounts of wild fish in their diets. The concentration of material (chemical or active ingredient) For small quantities, you may use, for example, a simple microbeam (c) Are the fish still strong What strength also darken a clearer glass or plastic bottle with black tape. good management practices. Use the following chart to help you. In addition you should obtain some glass microscope slides The best way to disinfect ponds is to dry them and treat them with hydrated lime to kill some parasites and their intermediate hosts (Fig. example rough or poor handling or transport) and/or bad water quality(often The diluted solution remains active for up to For larger quantities, you will need a good beam or spring balance avoiding splashing or spillage and, if accidentally splashed, wash off immediately; clearly mark all containers, ) by water depth (in m). 26. A concentrated solution can be stored for several dilute the chemical before use according to the kind of treatment. (see Section 10.1). control pests in drained ponds (see Section 4.6). WebLow Risk Systems. Observe are more tolerant to this chemical than other fish. Keep different sizes or sexes separate if necessary to control fighting. Run this test with two or three containers concentration and the overall volume of the container, tank or pond involved. 11. Myxosoma cerebralis, protozoan cysts in the head of trout causing whirling as above. When handling chemicals take at least the following precautions: 3. Obtain these from a local pharmacy, drugstore to be treated. taking care not to damage the eggs; reopen the water supply, gradually Warm water and detergent can be used to clean equipment.
