Title: Amyloodiniosis in semi-intensive aquaculture
Abstract: Fish ectoparasites are one of the pathogen groups that are greatly concerned with the aquaculture industry. The dinoflagellate Amyloodinium ocellatum is responsible for amyloodiniosis, a parasitological disease with a strong economic impact in temperate and warm water aquaculture, mainly in earthen pond semi-intensive systems. Amyloodiniosis represents one of the most important bottlenecks for aquaculture, and with the predictable expansion of the area of influence of this parasite to higher latitudes due to global warming, it might also be a threat to other aquaculture species that are not yet parasitized by A. ocellatum. This book chapter aims to better understand the dynamics of amyloodiniosis in semi-intensive aquaculture production systems regarding the life cycle characterization, identification, diagnosis, parasite-host interactions, host physiological responses, prevention, and treatments.
