Abstract
The effects of injectable vaccines against Aeromonas salmonicida on oxygen consumption, growth, kidney lysozyme activity, and anti-A. salmonicida plasma antibody titers of juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. The vaccines were A. salmonicida bacterin only, bacterin adjuvanted with levamisole, bacterin in emulsified oil, microencapsulated bacterin, microencapsulated bacterin with muramyl dipeptide, microencapsulated bacterin with β-1,3-glucan, and microencapsulated bacterin with Vibrio anguillarum lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The greatest and broadest ranges of responses were caused by the microencapsulated bacterin with V. anguillarum LPS. Oxygen consumption rates and specific growth rates were significantly higher over the course of 1 month among fish treated with the LPS vaccine. These fish also maintained a higher anti-A. salmonicida plasma antibody titer and kidney lysozyme activity for a substantially longer period than fish receiving the other treatments.Keywords
