diseases of finfish

Finfish diseases are conditions that affect the health of fish in aquaculture and natural waters, often caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or environmental stressors. These diseases can lead to symptoms like abnormal swimming, lesions, discoloration, and decreased appetite. Factors such as poor water quality, overcrowding, and improper nutrition can increase disease susceptibility. Managing finfish health involves good water management, quarantine procedures, and disease monitoring. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent outbreaks, protect fish populations, and ensure the sustainability of aquaculture operations.
