Treatment of Aeromonas salmonicida in Lake Herring (Coregonus artedi) Using Medicated Feeds

This study evaluated the use of medicated feeds to treat furunculosis infections caused by the bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida in lake herring (Coregonus artedi, Lesueur, 1818). The objectives of this two-phase study were to (1) determine if Coregonus artedi could be adequately and consistently infected with A. salmonicida by the methods of bath immersion or intraperitoneal (IP) injection, and (2) determine if the medicated feeds Oxytetracycline Dihydrate (Terramycin® 200 For Fish) and Florfenicol (Aquaflor®) could be used for the control of furunculosis caused by A. salmonicida. These datasets include water quality, mortality, feed weights and behavior, and qPCR data collected during both phases of the study.

本研究评估了药用饲料治疗湖白鲑（Coregonus artedi, Lesueur, 1818）由杀鲑气单胞菌（Aeromonas salmonicida）引发的疖疮病的应用效果。本研究分为两个阶段，目标如下：（1）验证通过浸浴法或腹腔（IP）注射方式，能否稳定且有效地使湖白鲑感染杀鲑气单胞菌；（2）评估土霉素二水合物（Terramycin® 水产用200型）与氟苯尼考（Aquaflor®）两种药用饲料是否可用于防控杀鲑气单胞菌引发的疖疮病。本数据集涵盖研究两阶段中采集的水质、死亡率、饲料投喂量、行为学数据以及实时定量聚合酶链反应（qPCR）数据。
