Greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is a very promising candidate for the diversification of the Mediterranean aquaculture due to its high demand, excellent flesh quality and high market prices. Its production expansion has, however, failed so far, due to several bottlenecks mainly related to pathology. This review addresses the major pathogens, which hinder the culture of greater amberjack with special focus in the Mediterranean region, and highlights possible treatment solutions. Among the important recorded pathogens of caged greater amberjack in the Mediterranean, the gill monogenean Zeuxapta seriolae seems to be the most problematic, causing significant losses. While formalin immersions are inefficient to combat this parasite, baths with hydrogen peroxide are extremely effective and praziquantel administration could be a more practical in‐feed treatment solution. The digenean blood flukes, Paradeontacylix spp., also account for important losses in greater amberjack farms in the same region. Dietary administration of praziquantel constitutes an effective therapeutic measure against those infections. Vibrio harveyi is also a bacterial pathogen severely affecting fish maintained both in land‐based facilities and in cages, whereas Epitheliocystis is a disease reported frequently that can be fatal when it occurs at early stages. Skin flukes such as Benedenia seriolae and Neobenedenia girellae as well as other parasites bacteria and viruses mentioned herein, which have caused substantial losses in Asian enterprises, but have not been identified yet in greater amberjack farmed in the Mediterranean, should be considered as potential threats.

养殖的大型mber鱼Seriola dumerili的传染病和治疗方案，特别是地中海地区

由于其需求量大，肉质优良，市场价格高，大Greater鱼（Seriola dumerili）是地中海水产养殖多样化的非常有前途的候选人。但是，由于一些主要与病理学有关的瓶颈，到目前为止，其生产扩张失败了。这篇综述针对主要病原体，这些病原体阻碍了在地中海地区重点培育更大的mber鱼，并重点介绍了可能的治疗方案。在地中海记录的重要的笼中较大a鱼病原体中，mono单基因Ze鱼（Zeuxapta seriolae）似乎是最成问题的，造成重大损失。尽管福尔马林浸泡无法有效抵抗这种寄生虫，但过氧化氢浴非常有效，吡喹酮给药可能是更实用的饲料处理解决方案。双系吸血鬼，Paradeontacylix spp。，也是该地区更大的a鱼养殖场的重要损失。吡喹酮的饮食管理是针对这些感染的有效治疗措施。哈维氏弧菌也是一种细菌性病原体，会严重影响陆上设施和网箱中养的鱼，而上皮囊虫病是一种经常报告的疾病，如果在早期就可能致命。皮肤吸虫，如Benedenia seriolae此处提到的新鞭毛虫和新寄生虫以及其他寄生虫细菌和病毒已对亚洲企业造成了重大损失，但尚未在地中海养殖的更大的mber鱼中被发现，因此应视为潜在威胁。
