Abstract: An anesthetic and therapeutic composition for use in aquaculture includes an essential oil preferably thyme oil that is mixed with ethanol in an amount of one part essential oil preferably thyme oil to five parts ethanol. The essential oil ethanol mixture is then dispersed in water preferably seawater to provide 10 to 60 ppm of essential oil. The oxygen in the composition is between about 5.00 and 6.5 mg/L and in a preferred embodiment is enhanced by an agar stabilizer. The invention also contemplates treating fish such as sheam and sobaity and shrimp and seahorse to reduce stress and maintain a temperature of about 20°-27° C.

Abstract: A bivalent vaccine against Scuticociliatosis, Vibriosis and marine ich in zobaidy, sobaity and hamoor includes a formalin killed whole cell Vibrio encapsulated Uronema spp. The vaccine is made by collecting a mass of infected zobaidy and scraping the moribund fish with a plastic spatula to transfer live Uronema into a pretri dish. The cerebro-spinal fluid is removed from the zobaidy and added to the fluid containing the Uronema at different concentrations formed with the BHIB. A mass of zobaidy juvenile are fed a commercial pellet feed coated with formalin inactivated Uronema spp. encapsulated in Vibrio four times a day for a period of ten days.
