Sažetak
Abiotic stress in aquarium is a likely contributor to outbreaks of diseases due to immunosupression or increased vulnerability. Extensively reared carp fingerlings transported from earthen ponds to aquarium were exposed to multiple abiotic stressors. These stressors reduced resistance and challenged disease. Severe mortalities occurred and fish started to exhibit signs of septicaemic disease accompanied with skin erosion. Upon the beginning of mortalities a complete necropsy examination, as well as parasitological, virological and bacteriological evaluations were performed on dead and moribund fish. After necropsy and bacteriological examination the occurrence of motile aeromonad septicaemia (MAS), a bacterial disease caused notably by Aeromonas hydrophyla, was established. The role of abiotic stresses, including fish manipulation and water quality, were discussed regarding the disease outbreak. Prospective methods to minimize the risk of diseases as well as their limitations were presented.
