Biosecurity in Aquaculture

Biosecurity in aquaculture refers to practices that prevent the introduction and spread of diseases among fish and shellfish farms. It involves measures like disinfecting equipment, controlling access to facilities, regular health checks, and quarantine procedures for new stock. These practices protect aquatic animals from pathogens, reduce the risk of outbreaks, and ensure the industry remains sustainable and healthy. Effective biosecurity safeguards animal health, to maintain quality production and protect wild populations from disease transmission.
