Aquatic Pathology

Aquatic pathology is the study of diseases that affect fish, marine mammals, and other aquatic organisms. This field explores how these diseases spread, their causes, and their effects on aquatic life and ecosystems. Aquatic pathologists work to understand issues like infections, parasites, and environmental stressors that can lead to illness in aquatic species. Their research helps in managing fisheries, conserving endangered species, and ensuring the health of our oceans and freshwater systems, which are vital for biodiversity and human livelihoods.
