Aquatic Pathobiology

Aquatic Pathobiology is the study of diseases that affect organisms living in water, such as fish, amphibians, and other aquatic animals. It focuses on understanding how these diseases develop, how they spread, and their impact on wildlife populations and ecosystems. This field combines aspects of biology, ecology, and veterinary science to address issues like emerging pathogens, effects of pollution, and climate change on aquatic health. By studying aquatic pathobiology, scientists aim to protect aquatic life and ensure the health of our oceans, rivers, and lakes.
