Abstract

As a farmer you have to face a number of risks while doing the fish culture. The most important one is the threat of diseases. When you start thinking about fish farming say shrimp farming, the first advice you might have received would be about the loss someone suffered in the past from a sudden outbreak of disease.

Today we have different kinds of scientific practices ( biotic and abiotic controls) that reduce the risk of diseases.
