Pathology of Fish

Pathology of fish refers to the study of diseases and health issues affecting fish. It encompasses various factors, including infections by bacteria, viruses, and parasites, as well as environmental stressors like poor water quality, temperature changes, and toxins. Pathological conditions can lead to symptoms such as lesions, abnormal behavior, and increased mortality rates. Understanding fish pathology is essential for aquaculture and conservation efforts, ensuring the health of fish populations and ecosystems. Fish pathologists diagnose diseases to develop effective treatments and management strategies, ultimately promoting the well-being of both wild and farmed fish species.
