Abstract:

Salmonids aquaculture is nowadays extended worldwide with different farming practices. It includes more than 25 different species, but the production in European countries is headed by Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In the EU, both species accounted for almost 400,000 tonnes in 2017, whereas in Norway it reached 1.3 million tonnes in 2018. Other minor species are brown trout (Salmo trutta), grayling (Thymallus thymallus), and whitefish (Coregonus spp.), which are primarily directed toward restocking programs in natural water bodies for restoration purposes. In this guide, fish farmers can find information for five parasites jeopardizing farming of salmonids in European countries: the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis; Neoparamoeba perurans, causative agent for amoebic gill disease (AGD); Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, causative agent for fish whitespot disease (“Ich”); Saprolegnia parasitica, a fungus-like oomycete; and Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, causative agent of proliferative kidney disease (PKD). It includes valuable information on clinical signs, identification of the pathogen, biology of the parasite, the life cycle and recommendations for control. This manual does not provide comprehensive details, but may serve as an easily comprehended and necessary support during the daily handling and management of these fish. The guidance provided for each parasite reflects the current state of knowledge for these pathogens and has been informed, in part, by research conducted through the ParaFishControl project. This guide also provides details for expert contacts within Europe who may be consulted for further support.
