Abstract: | Heavy infection with epitheliocystis on gills caused mortality in hatchery-born Sparus aurata. Histopathological findings showed extensive proliferation of the gill epithelium around the epitheliocystis capsule. Such proliferation was not observed in benign infections. Epizootic infections thus occurred only in hatchery-born S. aurata. In S. aurata and mullets reared from natural stocks, infection remained benign and sporadic. Epitheliocystis infections were also found in juvenile mullets from the east Mediterranean waters as well as from the Gulf of Elat, Red Sea. |
