Piscirickettsia salmonis is the bacterial causative agent of piscirickettsiosis, an epizootic disease in salmonid fishes. [1] [2] [3] It has a major impact on salmon populations, with a mortality rate of up to 90% in some species. The type strain, LF-89, is from Chile, but multiple strains exist, and some are more virulent than others. P. salmonis and piscrickettsiosis are present in various geographic regions from Europe to Oceania to South America, but the Chilean salmon farming industry has been particularly hard-hit. [4] [5] Different strategies of controlling the disease and farm-to-farm spread have been the subject of much research, [4] but a significant amount is still unknown. [6]

History

The disease caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis, piscirickettsiosis, was first identified in Chile in 1989 as coho salmon syndrome, although observations of the illness date to at least 1981. [7] P. salmonis was first described in 1992, when it was identified as the causative agent of the disease and classified as a member of the family Rickettsiaceae before it was reclassified as a member of family Piscirickettsiaceae in 2003. [1]

When piscirickettsiosis was first reported in 1989, it was one of the greatest threats to salmon aquaculture in Chile, with some infection coho salmon populations experiencing mortality rates of 90%. [7] [4] Economic loss in 1989 due to the disease was US$10 million; by 1995, the loss was US$49 million. Impacts decreased in the early 2000s due to improved management practices and a shift in farmed populations from highly vulnerable coho salmon to more resistant Atlantic salmon, although the disease was still considered to be one of the largest problems facing the Chilean salmon farming industry. [8] In 2007, the infectious salmon anemia crisis devastated the industry and other infectious diseases became relatively less important, but piscirickettsiosis had re-emerged as one of the primary challenges for salmon aquaculture by 2014. It continues to present challenges today, and infected farms typically lose 30-35% of their stock, although that number can be as high as 90%. [8]

Much is still unknown about P. salmonis and piscirickettsiosis. Due to these research gaps, in 2018 an advisory committee identified a list of 52 research questions about the disease and the bacterium that causes it to be addressed moving forward. [6]

Piscirickettsia salmonis

P. salmonis is a gram-negative, non-motile bacterium. It is generally coccoid, with a diameter of 0.5-1.5 μm. It is most often found in pairs or ring-shaped groups. Although it has an external membrane as well as an internal cytoplasmic membrane, it is not encapsulated. When stressed, P. salmonis sometimes produces cell aggregates that resemble biofilm structures. [4] [8] The bacterium replicates via binary fission in membrane-bound cytoplasmic vacuoles. [4] Like many bacteria, P. salmonis susceptible to infection by phages. [1]

Although it was initially described as obligately intracellular, [9] more recent research has established that P. salmonis can survive as both a free-living bacterium in the marine environment and in laboratory settings on cysteine-enriched agar media and blood-free agar media. In seawater, free-living P. salmonis can survive for at least 21 days under the right environmental conditions, and is capable of forming viable and mucus-tolerant biofilms on nonliving surfaces including glass, plastic, and mollusk shells. [10] Survival is highest at around 5 °C, and decreases as temperature increases; almost no survival is observed above 25 °C. P. salmonis does not appear to be able to survive without a host in freshwater environments. [4]

The type strain, LF-89, is from Chile, but isolates have been identified from multiple other localities including Norway, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and possibly Tasmania. All isolates are closely related, but some strains, such as LF-89, are more virulent than others. [4] Although they belong to different classes, Piscirickettsia (Gammaproteobacteria) is morphologically similar to true Rickettsia bacteria (Alphaproteobacteria), for which it was named. [4] P. salmonis has been found in ballast water even when ships completed a ballast water exchange between ports, which might explain geographic dispersion. [11]

P. salmonis should not be confused with Neorickettsia helminthoeca , the causative agent of salmon poisoning disease in canids. Salmonid fishes are hosts for the trematode vector of N. helminthoeca, Nanophyetus salmincola , but are not themselves infected by N. helminthoeca. [1]

Piscirickettsiosis

Transmission

P. salmonis infects a variety of salmonid hosts, including Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch ), Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ), pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ), masu salmon ( Oncorhynchus masou ), and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ). It has also been found in several non-salmonid hosts such as the white seabass ( Atractoscion nobilis ), Patagonian blenny ( Eleginops maclovinus ), Cape redfish ( Sebastes capensis ), tadpole codling ( Salilota australis ), and European seabass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ). [8]

P. salmonis initially infects hosts orally or by breaching the skin or gills, especially when the host is already injured. [4] Transmission may also occur when infected prey are consumed. [8] Under natural conditions, the incubation period is around 2 weeks. [4] Both horizontal and vertical transmission of P. salmonis has been demonstrated, but horizontal transmission seems to be the most important means by which the bacteria spreads. [4] [9] The parasitic isopod Ceratothoa gaudichaudii is a host for P. salmonis and may represent an important vector of infection in Chilean salmon farms, [4] but horizontal transmission regularly occurs in the absence of a vector. [4] [8] Both conspecifics and heterospecifics may horizontally transmit the bacterium to an individual of a given species. [4] Infection rates are highest during the outgrowing phase of the farmed salmon life cycle, when salmon are kept in seawater [12] [4] and during the fall and spring. [7] Risk factors for farm-wide outbreaks of piscirickettsiosis include increased temperatures, longer time spent in seawater during the outgrowing phase, and the presence of outbreaks at neighboring farms. [13]

Effects

Piscirickettsiosis, the disease caused by P. salmonis, is also known as salmon rickettsia syndrome and salmonid rickettsial septicaemia. [4] [13] [14]

After initial transmission, P. salmonis is capable of infecting macrophages without inducing apoptosis, which allows it to spread throughout a host’s body while evading the host’s natural immune response. [4] P. salmonis infections appear to be systematic. White or yellow lesions or ulcers, ranging from 1mm to 2cm in diameter, are often present in the liver, kidneys, spleen, intestine, and skeletal muscle. [4] [9] Pathological changes have been reported in organs as diverse as the brain, heart, ovaries, and gills. Necrosis in the kidneys causes anemia. [4] Although many fish do not display outward signs of illness even when the disease has progressed to the point of mortality, several indications of infection may be noted. These include external symptoms such as lesions, ulcers, and darkening of the skin; abdominal swelling; and pale gills as a result of anemia. Behavioral symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, respiratory distress, and surface swimming have also been observed. [4] [8] [9] The bacterial load in the brain of infected fish can be up to 100 times higher than the bacterial loads in the liver and kidneys, [9] which may explain certain behavioral changes. [4]

Piscirickettsiosis is diagnosed based on external and internal symptoms in combination with the detection of P. salmonis. Smears of the kidney, liver, and spleen can be stained with Gram, Giemsa, acridine orange, or methylene blue stain for direct observation of the bacteria within host cells, but following this initial detection, the identity of the bacteria must be confirmed with serological or molecular testing. Because the ITS region of the rRNA operon is more variable than the 16S region, PCR testing usually targets the ITS region to allow for finer-scale identification of different P. salmonis strains. [4]

Controlling piscirickettsiosis

There is little field information about the efficacy of commercial vaccines and antibiotics against P. salmonis and piscirickettsiosis, even though historically, these methods have been at the center of attempts to control piscirickettsiosis outbreaks. [4] The anadromous life history of salmonids and the high population densities of farmed salmon make it difficult to effectively control piscirickettsiosis outbreaks, although early detection is crucial for successful management. [15]

Vaccines

Vaccinated fish have lower mortality than unvaccinated fish through the winter of the year of vaccine administration, but lose their immunity with the arrival of spring. Injectable vaccines administered in freshwater are effective at preventing the piscirickettsiosis outbreak that often occurs when salmon are transferred from freshwater to seawater for the ongrowing stage, but render fish vulnerable to more aggressive outbreaks later on. Injectable revaccination is not considered cost-effective, but oral booster vaccines are sometimes delivered through food. [4] As of 2020, 32 different vaccines against piscirickettsiosis are commercially available in Chile, but efficacy varies and there is no easy way for farming businesses to compare data on different vaccines. [16]

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are not reliably effective against piscirickettsiosis outbreaks due to both antibiotic resistance and the intracellular lifestyle of the bacterium within the host. [4] Despite this, the Chilean salmon farming industry has one of the highest rates internationally of antibiotic consumption per ton of harvested fish. Florfenicol and oxytetracycline are the antibiotics most frequently used to target P. salmonis outbreaks even though the bacteria has demonstrated signs of resistance to both antibiotics. [17] The environmental implications of antibiotic use in salmon aquaculture are poorly understood, and consequences may be far-reaching. [17] The use of florfenicol and oxytratracycline to treat piscirickettsiosis is still sometimes successful, especially if treatment is administered early in an outbreak when mortality is still low. [18] Recently, researchers demonstrated that bimonthly risk-based qPCR sampling of five moribund or dead fish from 2-3 netpens would successfully and cost-effectively detect early infections of piscirickettsiosis up to 95% of the time, [15] which could help farmers successfully administer antibiotics while mortality is still low enough for them to be effective.

Feed additives

Commercial phytogenic feed additives (PTAs) such as labdane diterpenes derived from Andrographis sp. may provide a biodegradable, easy-to-administer alternative to vaccines and antibiotics, as they have been demonstrated to reduce the virulence of piscirickettsiosis outbreaks. [19]

Indirect interventions

Indirect interventions may help reduce community transmission and prevent outbreaks. These interventions include reducing the density at which salmon are farmed, establishing fallowing periods for farms affected by piscirickettsiosis, and disinfecting equipment between production cycles. [1] [13] Since 2009, the Chilean salmon farming industry has adopted practices such as mandatory fallowing and equipment disinfection and it has been prohibited to transfer fish between different farms; these strategies have reduced the likelihood of farm-to-farm transmission, but the disease is still prevalent. Salmon farming companies are also required to submit information about infectious diseases to the Chilean government to maintain their licenses. [13] The length of the fallowing period and the disinfectants used on equipment may be important. Fallowing for at least three months can help lower the abundance of P. salmonis between production cycles, although it does not eliminate the bacteria completely. [18] Peracetic acid, peroxides, and active and inactive chlorine dioxides are the most effective sanitizers at reducing P. salmonis prevalence. [20]

Selective breeding

Resistance against piscirickettsiosis is weakly heritable in Atlantic and coho salmon [21] [22] and moderately heritable in rainbow trout. [23] Resistance is also strongly correlated with a lower harvest weight in coho salmon, suggesting a negative relationship between resistance and growth. [22] It may be possible to selectively breed piscirickettsiosis-resistant strains of salmon for farming.

Fish farming or pisciculture involves commercial breeding of fish, most often for food, in fish tanks or artificial enclosures such as fish ponds. It is a particular type of aquaculture, which is the controlled cultivation and harvesting of aquatic animals such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and so on, in natural or pseudo-natural environments. A facility that releases juvenile fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species' natural numbers is generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide, the most important fish species produced in fish farming are carp, catfish, salmon and tilapia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Selective breeding</span> Breeding for desired characteristics

Selective breeding is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together. Domesticated animals are known as breeds, normally bred by a professional breeder, while domesticated plants are known as varieties, cultigens, cultivars, or breeds. Two purebred animals of different breeds produce a crossbreed, and crossbred plants are called hybrids. Flowers, vegetables and fruit-trees may be bred by amateurs and commercial or non-commercial professionals: major crops are usually the provenance of the professionals.

<i>Myxobolus cerebralis</i> Species of parasite

Myxobolus cerebralis is a myxosporean parasite of salmonids that causes whirling disease in farmed salmon and trout and also in wild fish populations. It was first described in rainbow trout in Germany in 1893, but its range has spread and it has appeared in most of Europe, the United States, South Africa, Canada and other countries from shipments of cultured and wild fish. In the 1980s, M. cerebralis was found to require a tubificid oligochaete to complete its life cycle. The parasite infects its hosts with its cells after piercing them with polar filaments ejected from nematocyst-like capsules. This infects the cartilage and possibly the nervous tissue of salmonids, causing a potentially lethal infection in which the host develops a black tail, spinal deformities, and possibly more deformities in the anterior part of the fish.

<i>Oncorhynchus</i> Genus of fishes

Oncorhynchus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae, native to coldwater tributaries of the North Pacific basin. The genus contains twelve extant species, namely six species of Pacific salmon and six species of Pacific trout, all of which are migratory mid-level predatory fish that display natal homing and semelparity.

Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite of marine fishes. It has a worldwide distribution, and infects a wide range of host species. This parasite is responsible for causing economic losses to the fisheries sector, by causing post-mortem "myoliquefaction", a softening of the flesh to such an extent that the fish becomes unmarketable. It is not infective to humans.

Infectious salmon anemia (ISA) is a viral disease of Atlantic salmon caused by Salmon isavirus. It affects fish farms in Canada, Norway, Scotland and Chile, causing severe losses to infected farms. ISA has been a World Organisation for Animal Health notifiable disease since 1990. In the EU, it is classified as a non-exotic disease, and is monitored by the European Community Reference Laboratory for Fish Diseases.

Sea lice are copepods of the family Caligidae within the order Siphonostomatoida. They are marine ectoparasites that feed on the mucus, epidermal tissue, and blood of host fish. The roughly 559 species in 37 genera include around 162 Lepeophtheirus and 268 Caligus species.

Enteric redmouth disease, or simply redmouth disease is a bacterial infection of freshwater and marine fish caused by the pathogen Yersinia ruckeri. It is primarily found in rainbow trout and other cultured salmonids. The disease is characterized by subcutaneous hemorrhaging of the mouth, fins, and eyes. It is most commonly seen in fish farms with poor water quality. Redmouth disease was first discovered in Idaho rainbow trout in the 1950s. The disease does not infect humans.

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a potentially fatal disease of some marine fish. It is caused by Neoparamoeba perurans, the most important amoeba in cultured fish. It primarily affects farm raised fish of the family Salmonidae, most notably affecting the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry, costing the A$20 million a year in treatments and lost productivity. Turbot, bass, bream, sea urchins and crabs have also been infected.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Salmon louse</span> Parasitic crustacean of fish

The salmon louse is a species of copepod in the genus Lepeophtheirus. It is a sea louse, a parasite living mostly on salmon, particularly on Pacific and Atlantic salmon and sea trout, but is also sometimes found on the three-spined stickleback. It feeds on the mucus, skin and blood of the fish. Once detached, they can be blown by wind across the surface of the sea, like plankton. When they encounter a suitable marine fish host, they adhere themselves to the skin, fins, or gills of the fish, and feed on the mucus or skin. Sea lice only affect fish and are not harmful to humans.

<i>Streptococcus iniae</i> Species of bacterium

Streptococcus iniae is a species of Gram-positive, sphere-shaped bacterium belonging to the genus Streptococcus. Since its isolation from an Amazon freshwater dolphin in the 1970s, S. iniae has emerged as a leading fish pathogen in aquaculture operations worldwide, resulting in over US$100M in annual losses. Since its discovery, S. iniae infections have been reported in at least 27 species of cultured or wild fish from around the world. Freshwater and saltwater fish including tilapia, red drum, hybrid striped bass, and rainbow trout are among those susceptible to infection by S. iniae. Infections in fish manifest as meningoencephalitis, skin lesions, and septicemia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fish diseases and parasites</span> Disease that affects fish

Like humans and other animals, fish suffer from diseases and parasites. Fish defences against disease are specific and non-specific. Non-specific defences include skin and scales, as well as the mucus layer secreted by the epidermis that traps microorganisms and inhibits their growth. If pathogens breach these defences, fish can develop inflammatory responses that increase the flow of blood to infected areas and deliver white blood cells that attempt to destroy the pathogens.

Diseases and parasites in salmon, trout and other salmon-like fishes of the family Salmonidae are also found in other fish species. The life cycle of many salmonids is anadromous, so such fish are exposed to parasites in fresh water, brackish water and saline water.

<i>Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus</i> RNA virus infecting salmonid fish

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a double-stranded RNA virus from the family Birnaviridae, in the genus Aquabirnavirus. Causing the highly infectious disease Infectious pancreatic necrosis, the virus primarily affects young salmonids resulting in high mortality, occasionally surpassing 90 percent in the early stages. IPNV or IPNV-like viruses have been isolated worldwide from at least 32 families of saltwater and freshwater salmonids and non-salmonids fish including salmon, flatfish, pike, eels and others. Other aquatic organisms infected include 11 molluscs and 4 species of crustaceans. Due to its wide host range and high mortality, the virus is of great concern to global aquaculture. In addition to persistence in hosts, IPNV is also perpetual in the environment, surviving across a range of conditions and capable of infecting fish with as little as 101TCID50/ml of the virus. Found in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia, the virus has led to significant losses in the mariculture of Atlantic salmon, brook trout, and rainbow trout.

Salmonid herpesvirus 2 (SalHV-2) is a species of virus in the genus Salmonivirus, family Alloherpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales.

Salmon Pancreas disease is caused by a species of Salmonid Alphavirus (SAV) called Salmon pancreas disease virus (SPDV). The virus was first described in 1976 in Scotland and in 1989 in Norway. It affects farmed Atlantic salmon caused by Marine SAV2 and SAV3 and has also been identified in Rainbow trout in the seawater phase caused by SAV2 where the disease is commonly referred to as Sleeping Disease (SD).

<i>Piscine orthoreovirus</i> Species of virus

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is a species in the genus Orthoreovirus that infects fish exclusively, PRV was first discovered in 2010 in farmed Atlantic salmon exhibiting Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation (HSMI) and has been found present at higher concentration in fish with various diseases. These diseases include HSMI, jaundice syndrome, proliferative darkening syndrome and erythrocytic body inclusion syndrome. PRV is thought to mainly affect aquacultured and maricultured fish stocks, and recent research has been focused around the susceptibility of wild stock. However, whether PRV is virulent with respect to HSMI remains a topic of debate. PRV has been in the public eye mostly due to a potential linkage to farmed Atlantic Salmon exhibiting HSMI. Public concern has been raised regarding the possibility of open ocean-net farms transmitting PRV to wild salmon populations and being a factor in declining populations. PRV has not been confirmed to be pathogenic in wild salmon stocks.

Mycobacteroides salmoniphilum is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota belonging to the genus Mycobacteroides. It was first identified as the causative agent of mycobacteriosis in chinook salmon and steelhead trout, but has since been found to cause disease in Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, burbot, coho salmon, freshwater ornamental fish, and Russian sturgeon. It has also been isolated from tap water. It is not known to infect humans. M. salmoniphilum is susceptible to amikacin.
