Fish Disease Research

Fish disease research involves studying the various illnesses that affect fish populations, both in the wild and in aquaculture (fish farming). This research aims to identify pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites, that cause diseases, and to understand how these diseases spread and impact fish health. By investigating environmental factors, genetics, and immune responses, scientists seek to develop effective management practices, treatment options, and prevention strategies. The findings not only help maintain healthy fish stocks but also support sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices, ensuring food security and ecosystem balance.
