1.1 Introduction
Mudskipper (Pseudapocryptes elongatus) is a special species of high
economic value, are consumed widely in domestic and export value Mudskipper cultures in the provinces Mekong Delta region, however, in the recent times mudskipper were sick with pathological signs of hemorrhage
in the body, at the fin and anal with a high mortality rate and widespread Most of determination of hemorrhagic disease are bacteria
Streptococcus agalactiae is typical as the causative agent of tilapia
(Oreochromis sp.) (Pham Hong Quan et al., 2013), red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) (Dang Thi Hoang Oanh and Nguyen Thanh Phuong, 2012) S iniae on seabass (Latex calcarifer) (Tran Vi hich and Nguyen Huu Dung, 2011), Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), red croaker (Sciaenops ocellates) (Eldar et al., 1999) In addition, fish diseases are caused by S dysgalactiae in mullet (Liza alata, Liza haemotocheila) (Qi et
al., 2013), sturgeon (Acipencer schrenckii) (Yang and Li, 2009), fish
brown (Mugil cephalus) and cobia (Rachycentron canadum) (Abdelsalam
et al., 2009)
Determination of hemorrhagic disease also is found from many
different species as Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria (Loan et al., 2009),
Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V alginolyticus on grouper (juvenile and
grow up) (Somkiat Kanchanakhan, 1996; Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy et al.,
2009 was quoted by Vo Van Nha, 2012)
Because of various agents causative diseases, so the prevention and treatment of dengue in aquatic animals are only effective when the agent and the cause is pinpointed Currently, determination of hemorrhagic disease on mudskipper isn’t researching, to provide information for disease
prevention and treatment hemorrhagic on mudskipper "Determination of
causative bacteria agent of hemorrhagic disease in mudskipper
(Pseudapocryptes elongatus) " is researched
1.2 General objective of the study
Survey and assessment of hemorrhage appear on a mudskipper farm
in Bac Lieu province Identifying characteristics of Pathology in fish pathogens which proposed solutions to prevent and treat the disease effectively
1.3 Scientific significance and applicable ability of the dissertation
Information from the results of an mudskipper condition and prevent disease process will contribute to limit the damage in the farming process
Trang 5mudskipper effective on economic productivity and income generation for farmers
1.4 New findings of the dissertation
Identifying the causative agent of hemorrhagic disease in mudskipper
is S dysagalactiae and the time the disease usually appear in mudskipper
ponds
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was preformed and optimized for
detection of S dysgalactiae bacteria to apply early diagnosis, rapid and
specific the causative agent of hemorrhagic disease in mudskipper
Recommend some antibiotic treatment of hemorrhagic disease in
mudskipper

c Food and feeding
Frequency of feeding ranged from 2-5 times/day There are 56.7% of surveyed households feeding 2 times/day in the morning and afternoon The weight of food to feed depends on the needs of fish, households should have a continuous feeding of the day (each separated by 2 or 3 hours) (8.89%) (Figure 4.1)
Figure 4.1 Frequency of feeding
d Management of water quality in the pond
Trang 13All (100%) mudskipper farmers interviewed do not use a settling pond system, farmers do not change the water, they just add water (96.7%), chemical processing and microbiology for improving environmental water
in the pond
e Fish health management
Using antibiotics to prevent disease of fish by mixing food and antibiotic to feed during the culture period, the most of the farms use amoxicillin (81.1%), the remaining use other antibiotics (Figure 4.2)
Figure 4.2 Using antibiotic in mudskipper farmer in BacLieu
4.1.1.5 The situation of the disease in mudskipper farmer
Disease of fish concentrate in 2 months old and hemorrhagic disease (78.9%), ulceration (50%), liver hemorrhage (25,6%) (Figure 4.3)
