Protective effects of sea cucumber surface-associated bacteria against Vibrio harveyi in brown-marbled grouper fingerlings

Brown-marbled grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (Forsskål) fingerlings are more vulnerable to diseases than the adult grouper because the fingerlings’ adaptive immune system is still in the development stage. The mortality rates are approximately 20 to 70% during outbreaks of vibriosis in aquacultur...
