An assessment on prevalence of fish diseases in Sambalpur Western Orissa revealed the occurrence of six major diseases viz. fin rot saprolegniosis gill rot Ichthyophthirius (white spot) costiasis and argulosis in this region. The percentage of occurrence varied from 4 to 16 in different fish farms surveyed. The study of physicochemical parameters of stocking and rearing ponds at Bomlai and Chiplima (Sambalpur Orissa) revealed variations between the ponds. The bacteriological analyses of sediments collected from different points indicate occurrence of hygiene indicator bacteria at lower level. There is an increasing trend in counts of different bacterial groups in both sediments and in fish of stocking ponds from February to March correlating with increase in temperatures. The difference in bacterial counts of mesophilic aerobes coliforms faecal streptococci and group D streptococci and staphylococci varied from 1 to 2 log cfu.g- of the sample. The antibiotic susceptibility of aeromonads isolated from diseased Cyprinus carpio varied among and between the isolates from kidney liver and skin lesions. Among the 17 antibiotics tested all the isolates were susceptible to erythromycin and nitrofurantoin and resistant to cefaclor and vancomycin. This study inquires for better management of fishponds to avoid problems in future.

Abstract

An assessment on prevalence of fish diseases in Sambalpur Western Orissa revealed the occurrence of six major diseases viz. fin rot saprolegniosis gill rot Ichthyophthirius (white spot) costiasis and argulosis in this region. The percentage of occurrence varied from 4 to 16 in different fish farms surveyed. The study of physicochemical parameters of stocking and rearing ponds at Bomlai and Chiplima (Sambalpur Orissa) revealed variations between the ponds. The bacteriological analyses of sediments collected from different points indicate occurrence of hygiene indicator bacteria at lower level. There is an increasing trend in counts of different bacterial groups in both sediments and in fish of stocking ponds from February to March correlating with increase in temperatures. The difference in bacterial counts of mesophilic aerobes coliforms faecal streptococci and group D streptococci and staphylococci varied from 1 to 2 log cfu.g- of the sample. The antibiotic susceptibility of aeromonads isolated from diseased Cyprinus carpio varied among and between the isolates from kidney liver and skin lesions. Among the 17 antibiotics tested all the isolates were susceptible to erythromycin and nitrofurantoin and resistant to cefaclor and vancomycin. This study inquires for better management of fishponds to avoid problems in future.
