Table 4 Application of bacteriophage mediated vector transfer in aquaculture

From: Engineering the fish gut microbiome: could it serve as future-proof strategy for sustainable aquaculture?

Phage

Aquaculture species

Effects

Reference

FpV4 and FPSV-D22 targeting F. psychrophilum

Oncorhynchus mykiss

Phage addition positively altered the microbiota of the fish independently of the presence of their target bacterium. It affects the complex network of phage- bacteria interactions in the gut

[68]

PZL-Ah 152, infects Aeromonas hydrophila

Carassius carassius

The phage PZL-Ah152 reduced the number of colonies of the genus Aeromonas and also had a positive effect on the gut microbiota

[82]

FCL-2 against F. columnare

Salmo salar

Phage treatment increased survival rate and reduced the relative amounts of the pathogen in the water

[83]

MJG against Aeromonas hydrophila

Oncorhynchus mykiss

MJG treatment would restore liver tissue damages and abolish the clinical signs of infection

Scophthalmus maximus

Provides, immunity, reduced mortality and disease resistance against A. salmonicida subsp.
