Abstract/Description: | Aquaculture represents one of the fastest growing component of the food sectors in the world. In recent times, it has progressed leaps and bounds from the traditional freshwater aquacuture to the brackishwater and marine realms. The brackishwater aquaculture assumes importance as it effectively utilizes the non-potable water which cannot be even used for irrigation of common agriculture crops. There is tremendous scope for the expansion of brackishwater aquaculture world-wide as most of the brackishwater resource under-utilized. Owing to its economic value, shrimp culture dominates the brackishwater aquaculture sector. However, finfish aquaculture is an ancient practice globally and has been continuing significantly to augment the livelihood support of a large population. In addition, the ornamental fish culture, a multi-billion-dollar industry, with very few wild collected marine and brackishwater species also offers scope for effective utilization of brackishwater resources. Brackishwater ornamental species are hardy to withstand the wide range of water parameters as they naturally thrive in extreme climates. The ultimate goal should be in achieving sustainable brackishwater aquaculture for food with diversification of species, different farming systems, popularisation of the ornamental fish industry, and employment generation. Disease poses the biggest challenge for this growth. Fish and shellfish encounter diseases from all bio-aggressors such as viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi leading to production and economic losses to the aquaculture industry. With the rapid increase of production, the sector experienced parallel increase in quantum of diseases. In last two decades many disease and its causative agents have been identified, which necessitate search for innovative means of control. History has shown that diseases and parasites play a significantly detrimental role in aquaculture. In fact, disease-outbreaks have formed one of the major barriers against expanding the industry. Even though brackishwater aquaculture has been making rapid strides, it depends to a large extend on wild fry or fingerlings and natural water source. There are many commercially important brackishwater fish and shrimp species with aquaculture significance. Among which, Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer), Grey mullet (Mugil cephalus), Milk fish (Chanos chanos), Pearlspot (Etroplus suratensis), Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus), Mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus), silver moony (Monodactylus argenteus), Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), Indian white shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus or Penaeus indicus), Banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis), and Mud crabs (Scylla serrata and Scylla olivacea) are considered as most potential species of fish, shrimps and crabs. This chapter describes the major diseases attributed to parasites of finfish and shellfish and their diagnosis, treatment and control. Considering the vast expanse of parasitic world, it is not possible to go into extensive illustrative detail on every species or group in a single chapter, but this chapter does provide a listing of most parasites reported or known from brackishwater aquaculture species with some pertinent general information on them. Because of these enumerations, the chapter would act as a review for anyone interested in parasites or the use of such parasites as indicators. This chapter also deals with the zoonotic significance of the parasites. Limited space prohibits us from presenting all the references used.. The major groups of parasites in brackishwater fish and/or shrimp are (i) protozoans and (ii) metazoans. Based on the location / site of attachment on the host fish and/or shrimp it can be also categorised as ecto- or endoparasites. |
