Diagnosis and Treatment of Similar Diseases in Grass Carp
Diagnosis and Treatment of Similar Diseases in Grass Carp
For grass carp diseases with similar symptoms, if they cannot be distinguished and treated promptly and drugs are applied blindly, the expected prevention and treatment effect is often not achieved, and the condition may even worsen, affecting farming profitability.
1. Bacterial gill rot disease and gill fungus disease. The common feature of affected fish is damaged gill filaments that rot and turn white. The main manifestations of bacterial gill rot disease are: the gill filaments rot and turn white, the cartilage at the tips of the gill filaments is exposed, with mud and yellow mucus attached, the inner epidermis of the operculum is congested, and the surface is often corroded into irregular transparent small holes. The main manifestations of gill fungus disease are: pinpoint hemorrhages on the gill filaments, with some gill filaments turning white and appearing rotten.
2. Enteritis-type hemorrhagic disease and bacterial enteritis disease. The common feature of affected fish is intestinal congestion and inflammation. The main manifestations of enteritis-type hemorrhagic disease are: the intestine, either locally or entirely, is bright red due to hemorrhage, the microvessels in the intestinal wall are particularly prominent, the intestine is congested but not rotten and remains resilient, and there is bleeding in the oral cavity. The main manifestations of bacterial enteritis disease are: the entire intestine is congested and inflamed, appearing purplish red, with the segment of the hindgut near the anus being especially pronounced, the mucosa of the intestinal wall is ulcerated and purulent, the abdomen is distended with red spots, and there is yellow ascites in the abdominal cavity. Enteritis-type hemorrhagic disease can be immunoprevented by injecting the grass carp hemorrhagic disease inactivated vaccine.
3. White head and white mouth disease and wheel worm disease (trichodiniasis). In white head and white mouth disease, the skin of the head and eye area of the affected fish turns milky white, the lips swell, the surrounding skin rots, and flocculent matter adheres to it. In wheel worm disease, the head and the area around the mouth of the affected fish appear pale white, and the head is covered with a layer of white powdery substance and secretes abundant mucus.
