Amoeba‐like Infections in Cultured Marine Fishes: Systemic Infection in Pompano Trachinotus falcatus L. from Singapore and Gill Disease Associated with Paramoeba sp. in Sea Bream Sparus aurata L. from Greece

Two cases of Amoeba‐like infections in cultured warmwater marine fish are described, an unusual systemic infection in pompano Trachinotus falcatus L. from Singapore and a gill infection in Mediterranean sea bream Sparus aurata L. All pompano showed marked systemic infection of Amoeba‐like parasites in gills, kidney, intestine, pancreas and spleen. The most severe lesions were in the gills and renal tissue with minimal tissue reaction in other organs.
