Abstract

Presently, the aquaculture development is towards increased intensification and commercialization of fish production with an intention to maximise profits in low volumehigh density mode. The aquaculture industry has been overwhelmed with its share of diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc. Along with feed and seed, diseases are also being considered as one of the factors influencing the profitability of the farming since diseases are now a primary constraint to the development and expansion of culture of many aquatic species. Several factors can be attributed to the present situation of disease problems in aquaculture: 1. increased globalization of trade of live aquatic animals and their products; 2. the intensification of aquaculture mediated through the translocation of brood stock, larvae, fry and fingerlings; 3. the development and intensification of ornamental fish trade; 4. interactions between cultured and wild fish populations, especially in cage farming in natural waters; 5. inadequate biosecurity measures; 6. Absence of vaccines for major bacterial and viral diseases.
