Fatty Liver Disease and Bacterial Co-Infection in Cultured Marine Fish

Abstract

In the present study, we sampled sea bream and sea bass, weighing 400-450g, for routine microbiological, hematological, macroscopical and histopathological examinations. Samples were taken from seemingly healthy fish, which displayed increased feed conversion rates, signs of cold shock and slow movement. Routine bacteriological analyses included basic microbiological analyses for oxidase and catalase activity, Gram staining and O/F fermentation using API test kits. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed for identification. Serum biochemical and hematological values were determined using a Vetscan®VS2 analyzer and blood smears. Internal organs were examined by routine histopathological techniques. Hepatic fat accumulation and necrosis were noted, and liver damage was observed to be associated with significant alterations in liver enzymes. Due to multi-organ dysfunction and serious hematological disorders, primarily Vibrio alginolyticus also Alteromonas and Pseudoalteromonas species were isolated from the affected fish and co-infections were detected.
