Abstract
The growing increase in the fish farming sector has favored the establishment of bacterial outbreaks caused by Aeromonas hydrophila in several species. The hexane extract of Hesperozygis ringens (HEHR) (Lamiaceae) leaves increased the survival rate of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) experimentally infected by A. hydrophila. However, it is noteworthy that no reports have been found on the possible mechanisms of action of this extract in infected fish. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the HEHR, administered through single immersion bath, on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defenses in muscle and liver tissue of silver catfish challenged with A. hydrophila. The results showed that the oxidative status of silver catfish was altered, although oxidative stress was not triggered during the experiment. HEHR at 30 mg/L (HEHR30) was not characterized as a pro-oxidant agent in the presence of infection, unlike florfenicol and HEHR at 15 mg/L treatments in some cases. In short, HEHR30 provided an important increase in hepatic catalase activity, characterizing one of the possible mechanisms involved in the greater survival of fish experimentally infected by A. hydrophila. Additionally, HEHR30 did not induce lipid peroxidation, nor reduced antioxidant defenses of silver catfish infected or not by A. hydrophila.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To verify the efficacy of citral in inducing sedation and anesthesia in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and to assess the safety of essential oil (EO) of Aloysia citriodora and citral in inducing and maintaining anesthesia in silver catfish. STUDY DESIGN Clinical study, randomized, parallel, multi-arm with control group in target species. ANIMALS A total of 96 juvenile and 72 adult silver catfish and 80 juvenile grass carp were used. METHODS Silver catfish and grass carp were exposed to different concentrations of citral, 15-675 and 15-600 μL L-1, respectively, during the maximum period of 30 minutes to verify sedation and anesthesia induction and recovery times. In addition, for anesthetic induction, silver catfish were exposed to the EO of A. citriodora and citral at 225 μL L-1 for 3.5 minutes. Then, fish were transferred to an anesthesia maintenance solution at 50 μL L-1 for 10 minutes to assess hematologic and biochemical variables at 60 minutes, 2 and 6 days after treatment. RESULTS Citral only induced sedation from 15, 25 and 40 μLL-1 in both species. Anesthesia without mortality was induced in silver catfish at 50-600 μL L-1 and grass carp at 75-450 μL L-1. At 675 and 600 μL L-1, mortality was recorded in silver catfish and grass carp, respectively. The EO of A. citriodora and citral were safe in inducing and maintaining anesthesia in silver catfish, with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration being the only variable that varied in relation to time and treatments. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Citral was effective in inducing sedation and anesthesia in both species. In addition, A. citriodora EO and citral were safe in inducing and maintaining anesthesia in silver catfish. Both agents are promising substances for the development of new drugs for fish.

Abstract
Vibrio harveyi causes severe loss to the aquaculture industry due to its virulence, which is mediated by Quorum sensing (QS) and biofilm formation. In the current study, we have explored the anti-virulent properties and biofilm disruption ability of luteolin (extracted from coconut shell) and linalool against this important aquaculture pathogen. HPLC analysis of the methanolic extract of coconut shells revealed a single major peak which matched to the standard luteolin which was further elucidated by NMR studies. Further, luteolin and linalool were screened for their ability to inhibit biofilms and various quorum sensing mediated virulence factors of V. harveyi. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the two compounds was determined and the sub-inhibitory concentrations of the compounds were able to inhibit biofilm formation. Both the compounds disrupted about 60-70% mature biofilms, which was also visually observed by light microscopy. Both linalool and luteolin exhibited a significant reduction in the production of EPS and alginate in the biofilms matrix of V. harveyi which was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Both compounds inhibited the swarming and swimming motility, the crucial quorum sensing (QS) mediated virulence of V. harveyi. The present study shows the presence of valuable polyphenolic compound like luteolin in coconut shells that are discarded as a waste. From the present study we envisage that luteolin and linalool can serve as potent anti-virulent agents to combat QS mediated infections against aquaculture pathogens.

Abstract
Aeromonosis is a fish disease that leads to haemorrhagic septicaemia and high mortality. The detection of early behavioural changes associated to this disease could be helpful in anticipating the initiation of treatment, increasing the probability of success. The influence of this disease on the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis and on the brain expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) is little known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Aeromonas hydrophila infection on individual behaviour and brain expression of genes related to stress (slc6a2, hsp90, hspa12a, hsd20b, hsd11b2, crh) in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). Thirty fish were divided into healthy and infected groups. The fish of the infected group were inoculated intramuscularly with 50 μL of bacterial suspension (6.4 × 108 CFU/mL), while control animals received 50 μL of saline. On day five post-infection, animals were submitted to the novel tank test, euthanized, and the brain was collected for molecular analysis. Infected fish swam more in the unknown aquarium and presented an increase in brain expression of genes related to HSP (hspa12a) and the route of cortisol synthesis (crh) when compared to uninfected fish. Therefore, this disease causes hyperlocomotion related to stress.

Abstract
Citrobacter freundii is a fish pathogen known for its ability to cause injury and high mortality. There have been no studies reporting the effect of this bacterium on hematological parameters and internal organ histology in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the hematological and histopathological effects of an experimentally induced C. freundii infection in silver catfish. Twenty fish were divided into healthy and infected groups. The fish of the infected group were inoculated intramuscularly with 100 μL of bacterial suspension (6.4 × 108 CFU mL-1), while healthy control animals received 100 μL of sterile saline. On day 18 post-infection, blood and tissues (cephalic kidneys, livers, and spleens) were collected for histological analysis. The infected animals presented high mortality, as well as hematological and histological changes. In relation to hematology, the infected fish presented aregenerative anemia, protein loss, leukopenia with neutropenia, lymphocytosis, and leukoblastosis. Regarding histology, there was liver degeneration, decrease in the amount of renal hematopoietic tissue, and the presence of melanomacrophage centers (MMCs) in the spleen and cephalic kidney of infected fish. In summary, these alterations may contribute to disease pathophysiology, contributing to high mortality of affected fish.
