This study presents data on regular health monitoring of fish in the Aquatika – Freshwater Aquarium Karlovac between October 2016 and December 2019. The Aquatika Aquarium houses 85 different ...freshwater fish species, 31 of which are endemic in Croatia. The study included an evaluation of the results of the aquarium health monitoring programme. It determined the most common fish diseases in the aquarium (at the species and individual levels) and determined whether endemic or non-endemic freshwater fish are more susceptible to diseases and disorders. The regular health monitoring programme revealed different diseases and disorders in endemic and non-endemic fish. During the monitoring, 3104 fish specimens were analysed. The most frequent disease was ichthyophthiriasis which occurred at a similar frequency in endemic and non-endemic fish species. The results proved to be valuable for the evaluation of risks and measures to minimise the risk of the introduction and spread of pathogens in the aquarium. Preventive fish medicine is extremely important for effective aquarium management. A comprehensive health monitoring programme, including quarantine systems, control of feed and environmental parameters, along with regular fish observation, are critical for the early detection of fish diseases.
U ovoj studiji prikazani su podaci o redovitom zdravstvenom praćenju riba u AquatiCI - slatkovodnom akvariju Karlovac u razdoblju od listopada 2016. do prosinca 2019. U akvariju Aquatika smješteno je ...85 različitih slatkovodnih vrsta riba, od kojih je 31 endemska vrsta za Hrvatsku. Ova je studija uključivala evaluaciju rezultata programa praćenja zdravlja akvarija. Utvrđeno je koje su najčešće bolesti riba u akvariju (na razini vrste i jedinke), te jesu li endemske ili neendemske slatkovodne ribe podložnije bolestima i poremećajima. Programom redovitog zdravstvenog praćenja utvrđene su različite bolesti i poremećaji kod endemskih i neendemskih vrsta riba. Tijekom monitoringa analizirano je 3104 jedinki. Najčešća bolest bila je ihtioftirijaza, koja se sa sličnom učestalošću javljala u endemskih i neendemskih vrsta riba. Provedeni rezultati su vrijedni za procjenu rizika i mjera za minimiziranje rizika od unošenja i širenja patogena u akvarij. Preventivna medicina za ribe iznimno je važna za učinkovito upravljanje akvarijima. Sveobuhvatni program praćenja zdravlja, uključujući karantenske sustave, kontrolu hrane i parametara okoliša, zajedno s redovitim promatranjem riba, ključni su za rano otkrivanje ribljih bolesti.
