Goldfish is one of the preferred ornamental fish which is highly susceptible to cyprinid herpesvirus-2 (CyHV-2) infection. The present study aimed to analyse immune gene expression in a co-culture of CyHV-2-sensitized goldfish peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) with CyHV-2-infected fantail goldfish fin cell lines (FtGF). Goldfish were sensitized with intraperitoneal TCID dose (10/mL) of CyHV-2. Read More

In recent decades, aquaculture has played a significant role in fulfilling the vast demand for animal protein requirements and consequently in food security. However, environmental contamination and disease prevalence are considered essential challenges for the sector. In this regard, new approaches have been paved in technology to deal effectively with such challenges. Read More

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is an emerging shrimp () disease caused by (VP) since 2013 in Bangladesh. The aim of this work was to evaluate a PCR and RT-PCR techniques as rapid methods for detecting AHPND-positive using genetic markers. Healthy and diseased shrimp () samples were collected from three monitoring stations. Read More

A unique strain of (designated as VP) causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), a deadly bacterial disease associated with mass mortality in cultured shrimps since 2009. AHPND is responsible for severe economic losses worldwide, causing multimillion-dollar loss annually. Because of the rapid and high mortality rates in shrimps, substantial research has been carried out to develop rapid detection techniques. Read More

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) or formerly known as early mortality syndrome (EMS) is an emerging disease that has caused significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry. The primary causative agent of AHPND is , a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that has gained plasmids encoding the fatal binary toxins Pir A/Pir B that cause rapid death of the infected shrimp. In this review, the current research studies and information about AHPND in shrimps have been presented. Read More

A recent study related to aquaponics has shown that hydroponic lettuce grown in aquaculture-derived supplemented water grew significantly better than lettuce grown in a conventional hydroponic system. The principal objective of this study was to verify this finding in a larger setup. Even though the aquaculture water that was added to the aquaculture-based hydroponic system contained relatively high amounts of sodium, we were still able to observe an enhanced growth performance of the lettuce in that system compared to the lettuce grown in the conventional hydroponic nutrient solution.
