Egg Disinfection: Key to Snubnose Pompano Larval Survival & Microbial Health

A recent study has found that egg disinfection significantly improves larval survival rates and influences the microbial community in snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii). Researchers observed that treating fish eggs with disinfectants led to higher survival rates during the early stages of development while also altering the composition of microbial communities associated with the eggs. The study, published on January 19, 2026, examined how different disinfection methods impacted both larval health and microbiota. The findings revealed that disinfection reduced harmful pathogens on the egg surface, which contributed to improved survival outcomes. Additionally, researchers noted changes in the diversity and structure of microbial communities after treatment, suggesting that disinfection plays a role in shaping these ecosystems. The results provide insights into aquaculture practices aimed at enhancing fish production by improving early-stage survival and managing microbial populations effectively.
