Sustainable Disease Management in Aquaculture: Analyzing Pathogens, Treatments, and Control Strategies
Absztrakt
Aquaculture is an indispensable component of the rapidly growing global seafood market,
although it encounters several challenges concerning the management of disease outbreaks
impacting fish health and farm productivity. This thesis examines the key bacterial, viral,
parasitic and fungal pathogens of aquaculture with respect to associated environmental and
management risk factors which may exacerbate disease transmission in intensive culture
systems. The study reviews existing treatment methods — relevant to antibiotics
vaccination, probiotics, and herbal treatments — and measures both the efficacy and viability
of each.
