aquaculture biosecurity

Aquaculture biosecurity refers to the practices and measures taken to prevent the introduction and spread of diseases and pests in fish farming. This involves ensuring that water quality is maintained, using healthy stock, controlling access to farms, and regularly monitoring for signs of illness. By implementing biosecurity protocols, farmers can protect their fish, improve productivity, and safeguard the surrounding environment. Effective biosecurity not only benefits individual farms but also supports the broader aquaculture industry by promoting health, sustainability, and food safety.
