Abstract
There are ongoing developments in the understanding of bacterial fish pathogens. New and emerging diseases are regularly recognised especially in aquaculture. Great emphasis is placed on better diagnoses, pathogenicity mechanisms, and disease control especially by immunoprophylaxis. There is an interaction between some pollutants and occurrence of fish diseases. Some fish pathogens may also cause disease of humans, and include Edwardsiella tarda, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Myc. marinum, Photobacterium damselae, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Streptococcus iniae and Vibrio vulnificus.
