Abstract

Aquaculture is moving at a rapid pace and is the great hope to fulfill the protein requirement of future world population. However, with the increase stocking densities disease has almost become an integral part of aquaculture bringing huge mortalities and economic losses. An effective health management practice is therefore required to tackle this problem and avoid major losses. More effort should be made in preventing the disease occurrence through the use of vaccines and immunostimulants. Similarly, plant based natural substances and biological control strategies should be adopted for treatment purpose. Wherever necessary, antibiotic use should be restricted. Indiscriminate use of other chemicals should also be avoided to prevent the adverse effect on host immune system. Modern technologies like CRISP-R based methods, RNAi and development of vaccines through Virus like particles (VLPs) should be effectively used to develop aquatic animal health management strategies. Climate change is predicted to generate worst effect through creation of more virulent pathogens and therefore effective better management practices can be developed to tackle the problem.
