Fish Pathology

Fish pathology is the study of diseases and health issues that affect fish. It involves understanding how various factors—like environmental conditions, parasites, bacteria, and viruses—can harm fish. Pathologists examine sick fish to identify the cause of illness, which can help in managing fish populations in aquaculture and wild ecosystems. Maintaining fish health is crucial for biodiversity, fishing industries, and aquaculture practices, as diseases can spread and impact not only fish but also the ecosystems and economies that depend on them. Effective disease management ensures healthier fish populations and sustainable aquatic environments.
