Detection of Aeromonas salmonicida the mucus of salmonid fishes
Mucus of salmonids was evaluated as a source for nonlethal detection of the pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida in fish. The bacterium was readily isolated from mucus on dilution plates when Coomassie Brilliant Blue agar was the primary plating medium. Kidney samples from the fish that served as sources of mucus were similarly processed. Infection was detected in 56% of mucus samples from lake trout Sa

Mechanisms and function of school formation in subyearling American shad (Alosa sapidissima)
SummaryThe behavioural repertoire of subyearling American shad (Alosa sapidissima) was studied in the laboratory to examine pathways leading to Aggregation and School formation at various group sizes (3–100 fish per 500-liter tank). Three hypotheses were tested: (1) schooling is the dominant behavioural activity of subyearling American shad, (2) development and maintenance of cohesive social behav

Host defense mechanisms of Cephalopods
Humoral and cellular mechanisms of defense have been described for cephalopods, a relatively advanced group of mollusks. Typical of other mollusks, cephalopod agglutinins are the most documented component of humoral immunity. Lectins, which have agglutinating properties, have been described and characterized from octopuses. Agglutinins from cephalopod hemolymph have also been shown to agglutinate
