Summary: Diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant Aeromonads are common and troublesome in aquaculture. In this study, the antibacterial efficacy of Cymbopogon flexuosus essential oil was investigated against OTC-resistant and sensitive strains of Aeromonas hydrophila. The oil exhibited dose-dependent growth inhibition of the bacteria and showed effectiveness against OTC-resistant isolates. Molecular docking experiments revealed that some components of the oil strongly bonded with DNA gyrase-B, inhibiting its efficacy. The identified phytochemicals had favorable physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties and satisfied the rule of five (Ro5).

Summary: This study investigated a case of severe mortality in farmed Labeo rohita and identified the causative agent as Aeromonas veronii. The isolated strain showed resistance to ampicillin and dicloxacillin, but susceptibility to 22 other antibiotics. It was also found that A. veronii induced stress and immune responses in L. rohita. The negative effects of the pathogen on fish health and high mortality rate highlight the need for A. veronii management.

Summary: In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) capped AgNPs (AgNPs@PVA) were used as a nanocarrier to fabricate an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor for the detection of organophosphate (OP) pesticides. The AChE enzyme was immobilized onto a drop casted AgNPs@PVA layer on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to fabricate the electrochemical biosensor. The biosensor measured the peak current at 0.6 V generated by the AChE-mediated hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCl) to thiocholine and its subsequent oxidation to dimer through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). A model OP pesticide, malathion, was used to hinder the AChE hydrolysis activity of the sensor probe, and the inhibition effect was found to be proportional to the concentration of malathion. The fabricated biosensor showed linearity in the range of 0.01 to 1 ng/mL of malathion at optimal conditions, with a detection limit (LOD) of 2.6 pg/mL. The AChE biosensor exhibited good selectivity for OP pesticides and demonstrated efficiency in real sample analysis.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different stocking densities on the growth performance of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The results showed that stocking densities in the range of 20 to 40 m(-3) resulted in the highest final weight, relative growth rate, and specific growth rate. The feed conversion ratio was significantly lower at lower densities. Muscle quality also improved at lower densities, leading to reduced drip loss and frozen leakage rate. Elevated levels of SGOT, SGPT, glucose, and cortisol were detrimental to fish growth. The stocking density of 30 m(-3) had the highest benefit-cost ratio and return on investment.

Summary: In this study, the effects of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) exposure on gamete quality of male koi carp were investigated. The results showed that exposure to DEHP led to a decrease in gonadosomatic index, impaired histoarchitecture of the testes, and changes in gamete quality parameters, biochemical compositions, ionic compositions of seminal fluid, and hormone levels. Additionally, the expression levels of reproduction-related genes were also altered in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that environmentally relevant DEHP exposure can have detrimental effects on the gamete quality of male fishes.
