THE CULTURE OF ATLANTIC BLUEFIN TUNA(Thunnus thynnus): DETERMINATION OF SPOILAGE BACTERIA

摘要

Tuna farming is a significant part of the aquaculture production. Croatia is one of the main capture-based Atlantic bluefin tuna aquaculture producers in Mediterranean. Despite the large number of studies about aquaculture, very little information isavailable about tuna aquaculture monitoring, especially about fish health management. The most useful approach in fish health management is prevention of disease and monitoring of the microorganisms. There is a shortage of information available for cultured tuna, particularly for Atlantic bluefin tuna (Jhunnus thynnus). Generally, main data described parasitofauna and parasitic diseases, while the data on bacteria are sporadic. Available data describe presence of bacteria only in the context of pathological conditions and disease outbreaks in tuna. Appearance of disease in humans as a result of poisoning by eating unsuitable tuna meat is better described, especially with histamine producing bacteria.
