Abstract

Aquaculture has grown into a significant industry in many parts of the world over the last twenty years. As fish farming is being done intensively under conditions o f high stocking density, infectious diseases pose a constant and costly threat to successful aquaculture. Even when environmental conditions are good and fishes are healthy, certain infectious agents, if introduced into the farm can cause heavy mortalities. Though chemotherapy with chemicals and antibiotics have, to some extent helped to control a number o f bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections, there is still no cure for viral infections.
