Nifurpirinol (Furanace: P-7138) related lesions on channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque)

Skin lesions developed on channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , exposed to 0-5 mg/1 Furanace for 4 or 14 days. Lesions developed 3 days after the 4-day exposure and on the eleventh day of the 14-day exposure. The lesions continued to develop after the fish were moved to untreated water. The lesions which began as dull areas of skin, sometimes resulted in erosion of skin and muscle which exposed the vertebrae. Bacteria were not isolated from the lesions except those with severely eroded muscle. The gills possessed lesions characteristic of a response to a toxic chemical agent.

Toxicity and efficacy of Furanace on channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque) infected experimentally with Aeromonas hydrophila

The 96-h medium tolerance limit of Furanace (nifurpirinol: P-7138) for channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus at 21°C was 0-94 mg/1. The most effective treatment level for channel catfish, experimentally infected with Aeromonas hydrophila , was 2mg/1 for 6.5 h. Furanace at 0.5 and 1.0 mg/1 in brain heart infusion agar reduced in vitro growth of A. hydrophila and at 2.0 mg/1 growth was completely.

Fish viruses: A double-stranded RNA icosahedral virus from a North American cyprinid

A previously unreported virus disease of cultured golden shiners ( Notemigonus crysoleucas ) is described. The condition is called golden shiner virus (GSV) disease. The virus is icosahedral, measures approximately 70 nm, is ether and heat resistant, stable at pH 3, 7, and 10, and appears to have a double stranded RNA core. It was not neutralized by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus specific antiserum. GSV causes syncytial like cytopathic effect in fathead minnow cells but not brown bullhead, rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2) or channel catfish ovary cells. Severe mortalities in golden shiner culture ponds do not appear to be associated with GSV infections.

Channel catfish virus experiments with different strains of channel catfish

Experimental infections of channel catfish virus were made by feeding virus to six strains of 1‐, 2‐, and 3‐month‐old channel catfish from different geographical areas and two hybrid strains. There was no significant difference in mortality between age groups. Mortality rates differed significantly between the various strains, with mean mortality ranging from 10% to 71% among infected fish. Mortality percentage of the Falcon group was significantly higher than all other groups. Hybrid strains had the lowest percentage of mortality.
