Pr. Bowser et al., STREPTOCOCCUS INIAE INFECTION OF TILAPIA OREOCHROMIS-NILOTICUS IN A RECIRCULATION PRODUCTION FACILITY, Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 29(3), 1998, pp. 335-339
Streptococcus iniae was isolated from moribund pure strain Nile tilapi
a Oreochromis niloticus in a water recirculation aquaculture facility.
The extent of the infection was determined in a number of separate cu
lture systems at the facility. A pilot study was also conducted to gai
n information on potential stressors that may play a role in spread of
the infection within such a water reuse facility. The conditions empl
oyed in the pilot stress test did not have any apparent impact on spre
ad of S. iniae infection to fish in additional tanks within the facili
ty.
