Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continued growth of the global population and the overexploitation of fisheries resources, aquaculture has become an important source of high-quality food. However, infectious diseases limit the sustainability and capacity of aquaculture, highlighting the importance of effective pathogen control strategies. There is an urgent need to investigate strategies for diagnosing and preventing fish diseases in aquaculture. Innovative technologies, methods, and theories are needed to detect, diagnose, and prevent various diseases in fish, to understand their occurrence patterns, and to prevent their development.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest research on diagnosing and preventing fish diseases (i.e., bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic) in aquaculture and provide healthy culture models and techniques. Potential topics include disease detection, immunization/immunotherapy, antibacterial/antibiotic replacement, and ecological farming. The included studies will help develop effective strategies to protect fish health from serious infectious diseases.
