Swim bladder inflation

Swim bladder inflation failure and associated spinal deformities in giant grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus

Giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus, GG) is a valuable aquaculture species in Southeast Asia. Its farming is challenging, and the occurrence of spinal deformities is one of the bottlenecks found in aquaculture production. This study investigated the development of the swim bladder (SB) in GG and a possible causative relationship between failing to inflate the SB and spinal deviations in juvenile fish.

Longitudinal field survey during deployment of an emergency autogenous vaccine against Betanodavirus in farmed giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus): Multiple factors contribute to outbreak and survival

Betanodavirus or nervous necrosis virus (NNV) continues to pose a formidable threat to aquaculture worldwide, with a widening host range and outbreaks incurring significant mortalities in both hatchery and grow-out phases.
