This work documents the first record of Anthias noeli Anderson & Baldwin, 2000 in Peru. Between 2016 and 2019, fifteen specimens were captured from the littoral of the Tumbes Department, located in the northernmost of Peru. Fresh photographs were taken of the specimens and meristic and morphometric analyses were conducted for species identification. Additionally, muscle tissue was extracted from five individuals to determine COI gene sequences. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed the specimens' identity as A. noeli, and the sequences were deposited in the public database BOLD Systems, representing the first deposited sequences for this species. This record expands the southern distribution of A. noeli.

The production of tilapia (Oreochromis sp) is being affected by outbreaks of lake tilapia virus (TiLV) with high mortality in the main breeding regions in Peru. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of TiLV in two tilapia fish farms in Piura and San Martín, which presented mortalities greater than 60%. Samples (liver and brain) were taken from 70 fish from different stages of culture that showed lethargy, loss of appetite, eye lesions and skin erosions. The detection and confirmation of TiLV was determined by semi-nested RT-PCR and subsequent sequencing of the amplified product of segment 3 of the virus. Products of the expected weight (250 bp) corresponding to samples from the two production centres were found. The phylogenetic analysis showed a high homology among the isolates and an identity greater than 90% with the Israeli reference strain (KU751816.1).

Probiotic bacteria in aquaculture represent a control alternative and prevention of pathogens, in addition, reduce the use of antibiotics. However, it is necessary to search for other groups of bacteria with similar or better properties, obtained even from the same source. The aim of the study was to identify molecularly lactic acid bacteria with probiotic properties isolated from the posterior intestine of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The study was carried out from November 2017 to March 2018 evaluating the antagonistic, proteolytic, amylolytic, and antibiotic sensitivity activities, and antagonistic to the following pathogens: Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas veronii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida and Plesiomonas shigelloides. It was identified by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene that Enterococcus faecium (IP5-2a) and Pedioc...
