• -oxidase test positive• -resistance to vibriostat 0/129Health management is the best method for controll<strong>in</strong>g this disease. There are varieties <strong>of</strong> antibiotic that can beuse as a chemotherapeutic treatment.StreptococcosisThe causative agent <strong>of</strong> this disease is Streptococcus sp, which is gram positive bacteria, coccus shape and nonmotile.There are several other closely related groups <strong>of</strong> bacteria that can cause similar disease, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>gLactococcus, Enterococcus and Vagococcus. Many species <strong>of</strong> fish have been found susceptible to <strong>in</strong>fection suchas eel, trout, tilapia, sturgeon and many species <strong>of</strong> ornamental fish.High water temperature, high stock<strong>in</strong>g density, harvest<strong>in</strong>g or handl<strong>in</strong>g, poor water qualities are some stressorsthat have been associated with this disease out break. Infected fish show abnormal swimm<strong>in</strong>g behavior (sp<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g),loss <strong>of</strong> buoyancy control, lethargy, darken<strong>in</strong>g, one or bilateral exophthalmia, corneal opacity, hemorrhage <strong>in</strong> oraround eyes, opercula plate, base <strong>of</strong> f<strong>in</strong>s vent etc., ascites. In some cases, fish may show no obvious sign beforedeath.Confirmation <strong>of</strong> the disease by isolation <strong>of</strong> bacteria from kidney and bra<strong>in</strong> follow by identification. There arevarieties <strong>of</strong> antibiotic that can be use as a chemotherapeutic treatment.VibriosisThe most common bacterial disease <strong>in</strong> mar<strong>in</strong>e fishes, that frequently act as opportunistic pathogens caus<strong>in</strong>gdisease <strong>in</strong> fish which are under stress problem <strong>in</strong> seabass and grouper. The causative agents <strong>of</strong> this disease areVibrio spp., V. parahaemolyticus, V. Alg<strong>in</strong>olyticus, and V. Cholerae.Some <strong>in</strong>fected fish get acute <strong>in</strong>fection and death without cl<strong>in</strong>ical sign. The typical cl<strong>in</strong>ical signs are darken<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong>body coloration, loss <strong>of</strong> appetite, hemorrhagic septicaemia, ulcerative lesion on the sk<strong>in</strong> and exophthalmia.Vibrios are Gram negative, straight or slightly curved rods, motile, facultative anaerobic, oxidase and catalasepositive, sensitive to vibriostat 0/129. They can grow on general purpose media with 2 percent NaCl, and ThiosulfateCitrate Bile Salts Sugar Agar (TCBS) is a selective media.Possible control methods are ma<strong>in</strong>tenance <strong>of</strong> high water quality and good husbandry. There are varieties <strong>of</strong>antibiotic that can be use as a chemotherapeutic treatment.Viral DiseasesThere are many viral pathogens that cause severe diseases <strong>in</strong> fish, such as lymphocystis, viral nervous necrosis(VNN), spr<strong>in</strong>g viraemia virus and koi herpes virusViral nervous necrosis (VNN) or viral encephalopathy and ret<strong>in</strong>opathy (VER) diseaseViral nervous necrosis disease affect<strong>in</strong>g larvae and juveniles <strong>of</strong> many farmed mar<strong>in</strong>e fish <strong>in</strong> Asia and Australia.There were reported <strong>in</strong> Australia, Ch<strong>in</strong>a, Japan, Indonesia, Philipp<strong>in</strong>es, S<strong>in</strong>gapore, Taiwan and Thailand. VNNvirus <strong>in</strong>fected more than 30 mar<strong>in</strong>e fish species, especially at the larval and juvenile stages, and the <strong>in</strong>fection59
