Abstract

Reports of toxic algae-related fish kills are on the rise. Toxic algae may predispose to secondary infectious disease or poor growth, and have a significant impact on aquaculture (Andersen et al., 2016; Noga, 1998; Place et al., 2012). This case was presented for investigation into persistent low-grade mortality in red snapper, Lutjanus species Bloch, which did not respond to several therapeutic interventions. Histopathological examinations suggest exposure to toxic algae.
