Description Mariculture has been steadily growing over
the last few decades. To satisfy the increasing demand
of local and export markets for fish and to
control overexploitation of marine fish species,
many countries are expanding mariculture activities.
Disease is one of the most limiting factors in
mariculture. Intensification of mariculture favours
pathogens, which increase disease outbreaks.
Diseases are broadly classified into infectious and
non-infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are
further divided into four groups based on the nature
of the pathogen: viral, bacterial, parasitic, or
fungal. Non-infectious diseases are divided into
neoplastic diseases, genetic and environmentally
induced diseases, and nutritional deficiency diseases.
Sustainable aquaculture production can
only occur when fish are healthy and free from
disease. Fish disease management is a combination
of preventing the onset of disease and measures
to reduce losses from disease when it occurs.
