Fish diseases
In commercial aquaculture, diseases represent a major cost component due to mortality, reduced productivity, treatment and vaccination. In addition to the economic consequences, disease outbreaks negatively affect fish welfare and present a risk to wild fish populations, particularly with pathogen strains evolved in the aquaculture environment.
The choice of diseases to focus on for each species in FISHBOOST is of critical importance for ensuring maximum positive economic and welfare impact of the research. They have a high priority for the industry and do not have other fully effective methods of control.
