|
| The Centre for Fish Disease Diagnosis and Management
was conceptualized and established by harnessing the research potentials,
capabilities built up and the achievements made by Dr. I.S. Bright
Singh and his associates over a decade in the School of Environmental
Studies. Since its inception, the Centre has gone far ahead in achieving
milestones that are visualized for an integrated and sustainable aquaculture.
|
| 1. Nitrifying bioreactors to be integrated
in to prawn/shrimp hatchery system and the Organic Recirculation Prawn
Seed Production System, Sponsored by Department of Biotechnology,
Govt. of India. |
| A novel bioreactor technology, for the rapid
removal of ammonia and nitrite from prawn larval rearing systems
has been developed and validated with the financial assistance
of Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. The technology
consists of two types of reactors, named in situ stringed bed
suspended bioreactor (SBSBR) designed to be used in larval rearing
tanks during the larval rearing and a second type reactor named
ex-situ packed bed bioreactor (PBBR) meant for nitrifying fresh
and spent sea water before and after larval rearing. |
|
 |
| This technology precisely facilitates establishment
of closed hatchery systems that are proposed globally as the next
generation hatchery technology. Patent application has been filed
under PCT # 828/DEL/2000 dated 13–9–2000. The technology
is under transfer to industry through M/s Oriental Aquamarine Biotech
(India) Private Limited, Coimbatore (email: orpsps@vsnl.net). This
forms part of the novel Recirculation System developed for shrimp
and prawn seed production. Besides the nitrifying bioreactors, a detritus
management system, a biological anti-vibrio preparation, and a probiotic
antagonistic bacterial preparation are also integrated in to the technology
to make it a complete system for the management of health of the rearing
stock. The technology is offered as a package engineered in such a
way that it can be integrated effectively with least disturbance and
alternations in the existing infrastructure. |
| 2. Antagonistic probiotics useful in prawn/shrimp
culture systems |
| An antagonistic bacterial cultures belonging to the
Family Enterobacteriaceae has been isolated and developed into an
application module to combat bioluminescent vibrios such as Vibrio
harveyi and Vibrio splendidus. After in vitro laboratory studies,
the probiotic is now under field trial in hatchery systems. |
| 3. Cyanobacterial system for the management
of vibrios |
| A cynaobacterial system consisting of two Synechocystis
sp. was developed to manage Vibrios in aquaculture systems. They control
vibrios through antagonism and enhance the generic diversity of the
intestinal flora, regulating its composition favorable to shrimp larvae.
The high protein content of Synechocystis spp. C-51 and C-54 and the
presence of carotenoids make the cultures ideal feed additives enhancing
the weight gain and colouration of the shrimp post larvae. These cyanobacterial
cultures form part of our microbial culture collection (Accession
No. CFDDM MCCB 114 and 115). |
| 4. Bioaugmentors for detritus management in
shrimp culture systems |
| We have developed a bioaugmentor for detritus management
in closed systems using a strain of Bacillus sp. (Detrodigest) from
our Probiotic Bacterial Library. On application to the system, it
degrades the organic matter into CO2 and assimilable minerals enhancing
the micro algal productivity of the system besides enhancing the total
heterotrophic bacterial population in the system, increasing the protease
production. The increased enzyme production enhances degradation of
the nitrogenous waste to ammonia, which is utilized by the micro algal
population. |
| 5. Novel anti-Vibrio drugs useful in shrimp/prawn
hatcheries |
| Novel anti-Vibrio drugs have been extracted from cyanobacteria,
Pseudomonas sp. and Micrococcus sp. which produce antagonistic compounds
under in vitro conditions. |
| 6. Acremonium insoluble beta glucan as potential
immunostimulant |
| We modified the alkali-acid hydrolysis method to extract
Acremonium insoluble b glucan (AIBG) to make the process cost effective
for aquaculture industry. This glucan preparation was structurally
studied using NMR and its immunostimulatory property was confirmed
in Fenneropenaeus indicus. |
| 7. Chitosan based drug delivery system |
| A comparatively inexpensive, easily prepared, microcapsule
that can be used for the delivery of drugs to aquatic animals was
developed at the Centre. The chitosan-based microcapsules showed considerably
higher retention capacity of free amino acids (FAA) in seawater when
compared to ordinary surface coated feed. Using this as the base wall
material, Acremonium insoluble beta glucan and bacterins were microencapsulated
and administered to the larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in two
modes, daily and once in 7-day interval. The batch of larvae fed once
in seven days performed better than either the control (not given
the encapsulated drug) or the batch fed daily in terms of overall
survival and metamorphosis, the number of days required for emergence
of post larvae, length, weight and specific growth rate. These results
proved that application of microencapsulated glucan and bacterins
once in seven days will enhance the production of quality seed of
M. rosenbergii |
| 8. Indirect fluorescent antibody technique
for the detection of Vibrio alginolyticus. |
| The technique finds application in quantifying V.
algynolyticus in aquaculture systems |
| 9. New fish/ prawn cell cultures and cell lines. |
| Appropriate tissue culture protocols and methodologies
have been developed for the development and maintenance of two diploid
cell cultures from indigenous fishes. The diploid cell culture named
PRL –1 has been developed from larval/ embryonic tissue of the
ovoviviparous fish PoeciIia reticulata. Employing the standardized
protocols it is now possible to develop and maintain the cell culture
for a period not less than three months with nine consecutive passages.
In similar lines a diploid cell line named CGO-1, has also been generated
from developing ovarian tissue of Clarias gariepinus. This cell culture
could be passaged 15 times and maintained for a period of one year.
Efforts are underway to establish these cell cultures. |
| A major research project funded by Department of Biotechnology
has been implemented here to develop cell cultures from penaeid prawns
for the isolation of White Spot Virus. A new process has been formulated
to develop primary cell cultures from eyestalk, gills, hepatopancreas,
lymphoid organs, heart, ovary and nerve cord of F. indicus and P.
monodon. We have established cell lines from hepatopancreas of F.
indicus (Fi HTP-1), from eye-stalk of P. monodon ( Pm - EST) and eye-stalk
of F. indicus (Fi - EST). Characterization of the cell lines are underway. |
| 10. Numerical taxonomy of Family- Vibrionaceae |
| Vibrionaceae is the most predominant family of heterotrophic
bacteria associated with prawns. As part of understanding this family,
which would facilitate its management in prawn culture systems, a
numerical taxonomy analysis of the members of the family associated
with the larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii has been carried out
with financial assistance from International Foundation for Science,
Sweden. The out come of the study was very much intriguing, as the
native population did not match with the standard /type strains of
the family. More investigations have been planned to look into the
genotype similarity with known species of the family. |
| 11. Integrated Disease Management System (IDMS)
for prawns |
| An Integrated Disease Management System for prawn
grow outs has been developed and is under field application. This
is based on a series of quality assurance programmes, which includes
quality of the seed, feed and the culture environment. The seed quality
is assured by screening the post larvae for latent virus and by feeding
with gut probiotics and immunostimulants in hatchery itself. The feed
quality assurance is by regulating the protein content of the feed
and also by incorporating gut probiotics, immunostimulants and growth
factors in it by surface dressing. Water quality is assured through
rigorous water quality estimations coupled with application of pond
probiotics for rapid mineralization of organic matter, nitrification
and removal of hydrogen sulphide. This package has been extended successfully
to prawn grow out systems in different parts of the country. |
