| jellyfish as vectors of bacterial disease for farmed salmon (salmo salar). | swarms or blooms of jellyfish are increasingly problematic and can result in high mortality rates of farmed fish. small species of jellyfish, such as phialella quadrata (13 mm in diameter), are capable of passing through the mesh of sea cages and being sucked into the mouth of fish during respiration. results of the current study show that the initial damage to gills of farmed atlantic salmon, likely produced by nematocyst-derived toxins from the jellyfish, was compounded by secondary bacterial ... | 2010 | 20453210 |
