FISH ATTACK OF SUMATRA DISEASE






disease
In general, a disease that attacks fish classified into two categories, namely non-infectious diseases are diseases that arise not because of the pathogen and its not contagious. While infectious disease is a disease caused by an impaired function caused by pathogenic organisms.

1. Non-infectious diseases
Poisoning and malnutrition is one example of non-infectious diseases that can be found in fish farming Sumatran (Puntius tetrazona). There are several factors that can cause Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona) were poisoned, ie feeding the poor quality or water pollution in the cultivation medium due to excessive organic material accumulation and can not be tolerated by the Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona). While malnutrition in general can be caused by feeding additional inferior.

Signs of a Siamese catfish poisoned can be seen from the swimming behavior gasping at the water surface. While diseases caused by malnutrition can be seen from the shape of her thin body, the head is relatively large and less agile movement and color that is not bright. Preventive measures that can be done if the fish were poisoned Sumatran is to provide feed to suit the needs of fish and aquaculture environmental conditions remain in the normal state. Meanwhile, to prevent malnutrition in the Sumatran fish, the feed should be given in sufficient quantities and has a high protein content and is equipped with vitamins and minerals.

2. infectious diseases

a. parasite
Sumatran fish disease (Puntius tetrazona) caused by parasitic organisms attack is a disease of white spots (white spots). The disease is caused by infection Ichthyoptirius multifiliis belonging to the animal parasites.

These parasites live in colonies often found in the mucus layer of the skin, fins and gills layer. Because it's white, then the disease is often called white spot. Attack symptoms can be characterized by white spots on certain body parts and the fish do not swim normally. To overcome these infections can be performed using formalin-containing Malachite Green oxalate (MGO) as much as 4 grams / liter of water. Prevention at catfish large Siamese can be done by soaking for 24 hours in a solution at a dose of 10 ml/m3 MGO water once a week.

b. bacterium
Bacterial disease that can attack the Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona) is Aeromonas sp and Pseudomonas sp. This bacteria attacks the stomach, chest and base of the fin is accompanied by bleeding. If infected, the mucus in the body of the fish is reduced and the body feels rough to the touch. If the Sumatran fish that have been affected quite badly, then action needs to be done is to destroy the fish so as not to infect other fish.

Whereas if the fish is not a severe disease, then the treatment can be done by soaking in a solution of PK (Potassium Permanganate) at a dose of 10-20 ppm for 30-60 minutes. In addition, other treatments that can be done is by soaking the fish in a solution Nitrofuran by 5-10 ppm for 12-24 Oxitetrasiklin or in solution as much as 5 ppm for 24 hours. In addition to the immersion, the treatment can be done by mixing the drugs in food (food) consumption of fish each time. The drugs that can be used is Chloromycetin of 1-2 g / kg of fish food.

c. mushrooms
In addition to parasites and bacteria that can cause disease in fish, mushrooms also one of the microorganisms that can damage the health of Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona). This disease usually occurs as a result of injuries found on the body of the fish. Cause of the injury is likely to occur because of poor handling at harvest and transport. Fungi that attack Siamese catfish is from the class of Achlya and Saprolegnia sp sp. The characteristics of Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona) are attacked by fungal diseases are the wounds on the body, especially on the gill cover, and the back fin. Parts of the mushrooms grown in the form of fine threads like cotton white to brown.

Prevention of diseases caused by fungi can be done by keeping the water quality in accordance with the needs of fish and keep the fish body condition so as not to wound on the body. If Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona) was struck down by the fungal attack can be carried out soaking in a solution of Malachite Green oxalate (MGO) at a dose of 2-3 gram/m3 water for 30 minutes. In order Sumatran fish (Puntius tetrazona) is completely healed, the treatment can be repeated up to three consecutive days.
