Disease control in aquaculture

Disease control in aquaculture involves preventing and managing illnesses among farmed fish and shellfish. This is achieved through good water quality management, biosecurity measures to limit pathogen entry, proper nutrition, and monitoring of fish health. Vaccinations and treatments are used when necessary. Maintaining a clean environment and minimizing stress help reduce disease outbreaks. Overall, disease control ensures healthy aquatic animals, promotes productivity, and reduces economic losses, safeguarding the sustainability of aquaculture operations.
