Health issues in farmed African catfish
Original language description
African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is an important species as an aquaculture commodity in Africa and Southeast Asia. Currently, the popularity of African catfish breeding is increasing also in Europe thanks to its rapid growth, undemanding breeding, and boneless meat. In fish farms with high stocking densities, there is an increased risk of disease outbreaks. African catfish diseases are mainly caused by the bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila and Edwardsiella tarda, which are both pathogens detected also in our waters. Parasites of skin and gills, such as those from the class Monogenea, are common as well. In order to reduce potential threats in the breeding facilities, it is necessary to reveal initially which are the most important health issues within the Central European farms raising the African catfish and clarify the pathological processes of the diseases in this fish species. In our project, we took samples of African catfish from three farms (two from the Czech Republic and one from Slovakia) and performed parasitological and microbiological examinations.
