In Farm 1 (eastern Greece), ectoparasite prevalence in sea bream and sea bass was 61.5\% and 76.9\% for Monogenea, none for Isopoda, and 0 and 23\% for Copepoda. In Farm 2 the prevalence was 13.3\% and 26.3\% for Monogenea, 13.7\% and 20\% for Isopocla, and 0 and 13.6\% for Copepoda. In the lagoon, the prevalence of ectoparasites was 100\% and 21.9\% for Monogenea and Copepoda, respectively. The lagoon had the highest prevalence of parasites among the studied ecosystems, however, the variety did not significantly affect the health of the infected fish. In Sparidae, gill lesions were due to monogeneans while skin and eye lesions were due to larvae of the isopod Ceratothoa oestroides that caused severe pathology. Furnestinia echeneis and Diplectanum aequans were host specific to sea bream and sea bass, respectively, and persisted in all aquaculture systems.

The usage of common carp pituitaries has been associated with very high costs, resulting from sacrificing the valuable broodstock. A close taxonomic proximity between the Common carps Cyprinus carpio L. and Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782), reflected in the presence of high levels of the homologous carp LH hormone in Prussian Carp pituitaries, was recently demonstrated. This prompted the present authors to evaluate the Prussian carp pituitaries as a less expensive alternative to carp pituitaries. for inducing spawning in common carp. Materials and Methods. Prussian carp were fished in Lake Pamvotis (NW Greece) on April 4, 2007 and 204 pituitaries were extracted and processed. Accordingly, the prepared pituitary liquid extract was injected in 30 female common carp (experimental group) in the State Carp Hatchery in Psathotopi, (western Greece). Common carp pituitary extract Was used tor the hypophysation of female common Carp ill the Control group (n = 30). In both groups, standard hatchery procedures were followed concerning broodstock handling during the artificial propagation of common carp. Fertilized eggs were incubated in 7-L Zugar jars after removing the sticky substrate and hatching percentage was calculated. Results. Spawning success was 73.3\%, total egg yield was 5.94 kg, total relative fecundity was 112.5 g . kg(-1) of body weight (150.0 g . kg(-1) of body weight based on fertile broodstock), and hatching percentage reached 85.2\%. Statistically, all the above performance values were not significantly different compared to the controls. Conclusion. Taking advantage of a natural resource practically unexploited, the use of Prussian carp pituitaries in the artificial propagation of common carp was equally effective to common carp pituitaries, contributing to lower running costs in the hatchery.}, keywords = {artificial propagation, AURATUS-GIBELIO, BLOCH, common carp, FISH GONADOTROPINS, gibel carp, Greece, growth, LAKE PAMVOTIS, OVULATION, pituitaries, prussian carp, reproduction, spawning, SPAWNING INDUCTION}, isbn = {0137-1592}, author = {Kosti, E. and Perdikaris, C. and Athanassopoulou, F. and Chantzaropoulos, A. and Vavatsikos, M. and Ergolavou, A. and Bithava, C. and Paschos, I.} } @article {3137, title = {A case report of Pleistophora sp. infection in cultured sea bream (Sparusaurata L.) in Greece.}, journal = {Bulletin of the European Association of Fish PathologistsBulletin of the European Association of Fish Pathologists}, volume = {18}, number = {1}, year = {1998}, pages = {19-21}, author = {Athanassopoulou, F.} } @article {3139, title = {Disease investigations on wild fish from a polluted lake in Northern Greece}, journal = {Bulletin of the European Association of Fish PathologistsBulletin of the European Association of Fish Pathologists}, volume = {18}, number = {3}, year = {1998}, note = {TY - JOURExport Date: 7 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Athanassopoulou, F., (1990) A Study of the Myxosporean Infections of R.

Sparus aurata from Greece was moderately infected with Furnestinia echeneis and Sparicotyle chrysophrii. Diplodus puntazzo from the Greek farms were infected with three polyopisthocotylean monogeneans: Atrispinum salpae, A. seminalis and S. chrysophrii. In Italy, on the gills of cultivated S. aurata, a polyopisthocotylean parasite was identified as Polylabris tubicirrus which is considered host specific and only affecting breams of the genus Diplodus. Furthermore, D. puntazzo and S. aurata showed the transfer of the monogenean S. chrysophrii from S. aurata (its type host) to D. puntazzo which is never found infected in wild conditions by this parasite. The presence of these parasites, and in particular S. chrysophrii in cultured D. puntazzo, is an important finding for aquaculturists in terms of potential disease problems.}, keywords = {Platyhelminthes}, author = {Athanassopoulou, F. and Ragias, V. and Vagianou, St. and Di Cave, D. and Rigos, G. and Papathanasiou, G. and Georgoulakis, J.} }
