The worst problems with columnaris tend to come in cool season, usually July in Ghana but I think it is getting to be year around. Those who grow out fry in concrete tanks in Ghana have found that disinfecting the tanks in between crops help a lot. They use hydrated lime and just about paint the tank with it. For fish being held in hapas, it is much more difficult. Still, antibiotic treatment via feed is best. Dr. Arias’ lab prefers florfenicol, sold as Aquaflor. We have also had some success with chloramine T bath. The key thing about flavobacterium is how well it can avoid chemical treatments by hiding deep into a biofilm. It attaches very well to PVC pipe and various types of netting. I attach the field training announcement for this year. Will post the registration link shortly. Karen L. Veverica Director, E.W.

Tilapia mortalities .. cause and effect .....
by William Leschen 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Dear Karen - and then following Naga and then John - thank you for your posts on what is going to become more and more important in SS African tilapia culture as it intensifies ie disease and fish health . I would however wish to add a word of caution here that although Karen and her colleagues have isolated and identified Flavobacterium sp in fish in Auburn and the US - not in Ghana Karen? which appears to be causing mortalities in tilapia - the position in Ghana and perhaps also Kenya and Uganda is not so clear cut. The main Ghanain commercial cage culture companies have been experiencing these mortalities for a number of years now - particularly it seems in the days after transfer from hatchery into lake based cages. Flavobacterium may well be present and isolated - and causing a number of clinical signs of disease - How much actual clear cut laboratory diagnosis has been carried out in Ghana in last 3 years? What are the results? Has any of it been published? What is the capacity of the govt and ministeries and their research institutions to carry out good quality field and then laboratory analyses and diagnoses of fish especially bacterial pathogens in Ghana ? Under these circumstances it is very likely that there are also a number of other (as yet undiagnosed?) bacterial pathogens in tilapia which have yet to be isolated or reported. If one looks at the situation in S Asia in countries like China Thailand and now Bangladesh where commercial tilapia cage culture is growing fast - there are a range of bacterial pathogens being isolated which are causing significant mortlaities - some of these are extremely difficult to isolate and detect ie Fransicella sp. Therefore please for those in Ghana who are suffering with these mortalities please dont just assume its the first name that comes along - Columnaris disease historically in tilapia and also a range of other farmed species has typically been a secondary pathogen causing far more obvious clinical signs - However it may well not be the initial cause of the problem. Therefore as in growing Asian aquaculture countries many years ago as their aquaculture intensifies and disease becomes the nos 1 financial concern - there is the need for a proper , good quality govt (or private ?) sector disease diagnosis laboratory and associated expert well trained staff who can diagnose and work with a range of bacterial, parasitic , fungal and viral pathogens. Until this happens then we are all just shooting off in the dark . Finally it would be good to hear from some of the larger Ghanian commercial producers to hear of their experiences and also their potential solutions - either in prophylaxis , treatment or changes in farm management procedures in order to mitigate the disease problems and mortalities Best wishes Will Cher Karen - puis en suivant Naga puis John Merci pour vos messages sur ce qui se passe de devenir de plus en plus important dans la culture tilapia SS africaine comme il intensifie la maladie et ce est à dire la santé des poissons. Je voudrais cependant souhaiter ajouter un mot de prudence ici que bien que Karen et ses collègues ont isolé et identifié Flavobacterium sp dans les poissons à Auburn et les États-Unis - pas au Ghana Karen? qui semble être la cause de mortalité chez le tilapia - la position au Ghana et peut-être également le Kenya et l'Ouganda ne est pas aussi tranchée. Les principales sociétés commerciales ghanéennes de culture en cage ont connu ces mortalités pour un certain nombre d'années maintenant - en particulier, il semble dans les jours après le transfert du couvoir dans des cages sur la base du lac. Flavobacterium pourrait bien être présent et isolé - et provoquant un certain nombre de signes cliniques de la maladie - Combien effective apparaît clairement diagnostic de laboratoire de coupe a été effectuée au Ghana en 3 dernières années? Quels sont les résultats? Tout cela a été publié? Quelle est la capacité du Gouvernement et ministeres et leurs instituts de recherche pour mener à bonne domaine de la qualité et analyses de laboratoire et des diagnostics de poissons en particulier pathogènes bactériens au Ghana? Dans ces circonstances, il est très probable qu'il ya aussi un certain nombre d'autres (encore non diagnostiquée?) Agents pathogènes bactériens dans tilapia qui doivent encore être isolé ou signalé. Si l'on regarde la situation en Asie du sud dans des pays comme la Chine Thaïlande et aujourd'hui le Bangladesh où la culture du tilapia en cage commerciale se développe rapidement - il ya une gamme de pathogènes bactériens étant isolé qui causent mortlaities importantes - certains d'entre eux sont extrêmement difficiles à isoler et détecter ie Fransicella sp. Par conséquent se il vous plaît pour ceux au Ghana qui souffrent à ces mortalités se il vous plaît juste ne assumer son premier nom qui vient le long - maladie Columnaris historiquement dans le tilapia et également une gamme d'autres espèces d'élevage a généralement été un agent pathogène secondaire causant des signes cliniques beaucoup plus évidentes - Toutefois, il pourrait bien ne pas être la cause initiale du problème. Ainsi donc, comme dans la croissance des pays de l'aquaculture de l'Asie il ya plusieurs années que leurs intensifie l'aquaculture et la maladie devient le n ° 1 préoccupation financière - (? Ou privé), il ya la nécessité d'une, bonne gouv bonne qualité laboratoire de diagnostic de la maladie du secteur et expert associé personnel bien formés peut diagnostiquer et de travailler avec une gamme d'infections bactériennes, parasitaires, fongiques et virales. Jusqu'à cela arrive, alors nous sommes tous un peu de tir hors dans l'obscurité. Enfin, il serait bon d'entendre certains des producteurs commerciaux ghanéens grandes d'entendre parler de leurs expériences ainsi que leurs solutions possibles - soit en prophylaxie, un traitement ou des changements dans les procédures de gestion agricole afin d'atténuer les problèmes de maladies et de mortalité Amicalement Will Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling UK www.aqua.stir.ac.uk<http://www.aqua.stir.ac.uk> Follow Daily updated Facebook sites (news, publications, videos, employment, funding, investment and other) for: Inst of Aquaculture Stirling Scotland UK https://www.facebook.com/pages/Institute-of-Aquaculture-Stirling-Scotland-U… SARNISSA African Aquaculture Network https://www.facebook.com/sarnissaafrica?ref=hl SEAT Sustaining Ethical Aquaculture Trade Asia (SEAT) https://www.facebook.com/SEATGlobal?ref=hl

Elle aide à trouver des solutions pratiques aux problèmes de l’environnement et du développement les plus pressants de l’heure. Valoriser et conserver la nature, assurer une gouvernance efficace et équitable de son utilisation, et développer des solutions basées sur la nature pour relever les défis mondiaux du climat, de l'alimentation et du développement, tels sont les domaines dans lesquels s'exercent les activités de l'UICN. L’Union soutient la recherche scientifique, conduit des projets dans le monde entier et réunit les gouvernements, les ONG, les organisations internationales et les entreprises en vue de générer des politiques, des lois et de bonnes pratiques. Les actions du Programme Afrique Centrale et Occidentale (PACO) s’inscrivent dans la mise en œuvre du programme quadriennal de l’UICN. Elles concernent aussi bien la question des politiques de conservation et de gouvernance environnementale globale, régionale et locale que les projets de terrain qui ont trait à la gestion durable de la diversité biologique. Pour contribuer au Programme quadriennal de l’UICN, le PACO se fonde sur 4 programmes thématiques régionaux (PTR) qui développent une vision régionale et mettent en œuvre leurs programmes et projets : Conservation des Forêts ; Eau et Zones Humides ; Zones Marines et Côtières ; Aires Protégées ; Droit, Politique et Gouvernance. Le PACO s’étend sur 25 États et est soutenu par des bureaux de Programme et des bureaux de projets. ________________________________ This communication, together with any attachment, may contain confidential information and/or copyright material and is intended only for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
