Nematodes endoparasitic worms that mainly affect finfish. They colonise the – gastrointestinal tract or encyst in flesh. Anisakis spp are a human health concern. Perkinsus olseni parasitic protozoan of molluscs that causes ulceration and can – cause death, particularly in abalone, clams and some oysters. Sacculina spp. parasitic barnacles of crustaceans, particularly of crabs, infection – results in sterility and no growth. SMV spawner-isolated mortality virus, a virus of prawns, caused by a parvo-like – virus. VER viral encephalopathy and retinopathy, a virus of finfish, caused by a virus in – the Nodaviridae family. The virus causes brain and retina damage and mortality of juvenile fish. white tail disease or white muscle disease, a viral infection caused by WTD – Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus and its associate extra small virus. They cause a milky whitish appearance in larvae/post larvae/early juveniles, and are responsible for large scale mortalities in M. rosenbergii.
