Abstract

Diseases are the most important limiting factors in aquaculture, as in the aquatic medium, all natural barriers that exist between a pathogen and the host are broken down whenever animals are cultured artificially from their natural environment and the animals are really under stress. This makes them more easily susceptible to pathogens and other diseases. The culture ponds are stocked heavily which is another reason for the stress, but the sole purpose of aquaculture is to produce a maximum yield in minimum time as we are in need of more protein. Owing to the widespread loss caused by the pathogens it is important to study the pathogens, the disease caused by them and the methods to eliminate them from aquaculture ponds.
