Immunodiagnostics in aquaculture

چکیده

Introduction Fish in culture are susceptible to a wide range of bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal infections (Austin & Austin, 1993) and losses through disease currently make a significant impact on the quality and volume of fish produced in Europe. Disease control is therefore a vital component of successful aquaculture. Rapid detection and identification of pathogens is necessary for effective disease management and this in turn leads to a reduction in the use of antibiotics and chemicals in the environment. Moreover, the movement of infected fish needs to be restricted to prevent the spread of disease, thus, regular screening for the presence of pathogens is vital. Monitoring the immune response of fish to infection or following vaccination can also provide useful information for health management.
