本年計畫擬藉由市場及養殖場採樣與分離鑑定菌株，確定相關感染病症與致病原，探討造成觀賞魚類主要病原、藥物敏感試驗及藥物治療，作為觀賞魚類防治病害之參考。了解觀賞魚之疾病現況，並進一步了解目前所分離之致病菌株中，以何種菌株為主要致病原，哪些寄生蟲亦為致病原；並與本研究室以往分離之菌株比對病原性，作為日後防治之重要參考。 Taiwan has various water resources for the development of dynamic recreations including the culture of ornamental fishes as pets. In general, consumers suffer from the lack of control measures towards the frequently occurred diseases. Diseases outbreaks are also considered as the major burden of cost in the aquarium, importation or breeding. Diseases outbreak is commonly recognized being dependent on the existence of pathogen, susceptible host and deteriorate environment. The majority of gross signs of diseased animals may be easily observed. However, a precise diagnosis of the disease is prior to the treatment by using drugs or chemical and is generally complicate. Some pathogens such as virus and bacteria are invisible, and must be identified confirmed by experts. After identification, the disease may be controlled by an appropriate drug treatment. In Taiwan, research activities on the disease control for ornamental fishes are quite a few resulting in the lack of related literatures. Therefore, this project intends to investigate the health status of fishes farmed in commercial aquaria of imports, retailers and fish spwaners. Pathogens will be isolated from diseased samples, signs or lesions and gross will also be recorded. Effective control measures for identified parasites and isolated bacteria will be tested and recommended.
