Introductory studies on bacterial agents infecting cleaner fish

Abstract

Cleaner fish (wrasse and lumpsucker) are used extensively in Norwegian salmon farms for biocontrol of sea louse infestation, but cleaner fish health and welfare has only recently become a focus of attention. Bacterial diseases represent one of the main threats to the sustained use of cleaner fish, and atypical Aeromonas salmonicida and Vibrio splendidusrelated strains remain the most commonly isolated bacterial agents in this regard. While A. salmonicida is an established fish pathogen, the relevance of V. splendidus for fish disease is less clear. Development of vaccines against bacterial pathogens of cleaner fish may be needed, but more knowledge is required regarding strains associated with these fish. In the present study, which focused mainly on wrasse, we examined bacterial infection levels in cleaner fish before and after salmon cage stocking, by culture and A. salmonicida real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Cleaner fish isolates of A. salmonicida and V. splendidus were characterised by virulence gene (vapA) typing, and Multilocus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) in addition to serotyping, respectively. In both cases, isolates of distinct spatiotemporal- and biological origin were also included for comparison.

Rensefisk (leppefisk og rognkjeks) brukes hyppig i norsk lakseoppdrett for biologisk kontroll av lakselus, men hensynet til rensefiskens helse og velferd har inntil relativt nylig i stor grad blitt oversett. Bakterielle sykdommer utgjør i dag kanskje den største utfordringen med tanke på bærekraftig bruk av rensefisk i Norge, og de hyppigst isolerte agensene i så måte er stammer av atypisk Aeromonas salmonicida og Vibrio splendidus-beslektede bakterier. Mens A. salmonicida er en velkjent fiskepatogen, er situasjonen mer uklar for V. splendidus. Utvikling av vaksiner til rensefisk mot bakterielle sykdommer kan være nødvendig, men det trengs mer kunnskap om stammer som infiserer disse fiskene. Med fokus på leppefisk utførte vi, ved hjelp av bakteriekultur og A. salmonicida sanntids kvantitativ PCR (qPCR), en screening av bakterielle infeksjonsnivåer i rensefisk før og etter merdsetting. Isolater av A. salmonicida og V. splendidus fra rensefisk ble karakterisert med henholdsvis virulensgen (vapA) typing, og Multilokus sekvensanalyse (MLSA) samt serotyping. I begge tilfeller ble en rekke isolater fra andre opphav (tid, sted, biologisk) også inkludert for sammenligning.
