Fish Disease Causing Economic Impact in Global Aquaculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fish Vaccines

Part of the book series: Birkhäuser Advances in Infectious Diseases ((BAID))

Abstract

One of the main hurdles to sustainable finfish aquaculture in many regions has been the management and control of infectious disease. The most significant diseases of salmonid, carp, catfish, tilapia and marine finfish farming are considered in this chapter by viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal group. The level of impact caused by disease and methods for control or management are outlined.
