About the Study

Aquatic animal pathology has attracted much interest throughout the decades, and it's gotten a lot more interest in the last three decades, due to the intensification of the aquatic production system and global climate change. The investigation of aquatic pathology is an essential interdisciplinary tool that may be employed in a variety of aquatic scientific domains such as marine ecology, aquaculture, and ecotoxicology, as well as in environmental monitoring programmes. As a result, fish disorders and pathologies, along with a broad variety of presumed a etiological agents, are increasingly being employed as indicators of environmental stress, as they give an ecologically meaningful end-point of chemical exposure and may be used as biological models. Aquaculture is one of the most rapidly expanding food-producing industries. In 2022, farmed fish and aquatic plants together exceeded capture fisheries in terms of worldwide output volume. In terms of food supply, aquaculture surpassed catch fisheries for the first time in 2022, and it is predicted to take over production by 2040. Food and Agriculture organization had registered with production statistics numerous cultivated species across the world, including some that had previously been farmed. Finfish (including hybrids), mollusks, crabs, and other aquatic creatures are among these species. For bivalve molluscs, Ruditapes philippinarum and Crassostrea gigas are the most farmed species, while carps (Ctenopharyngodon idella, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, and Cyprinus carpio) are the most farmed finfish.

A shift in host–pathogen interaction as a result of ecological changes is the main event in the genesis of such infections. More transmission between individual hosts, increased interaction with new host groups or species, and selection pressure leading to the dominance of pathogen strains adapted to these novel environmental settings are all effects of such pathogen changes. A quick increase in sea water temperature appears to be a significant stress element driving the development of this viral disease, however good husbandry practices can also help reduce pathogen effect. Viruses are the most dangerous diseases in aquaculture since no specialized chemotherapies exist. The Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV), a virus that affects Scophtalmus maximus production, is one of the most visible fish illnesses. Parasites, in addition to viral diseases, are increasingly harming aquaculture output. Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), caused by Neoparamoeba perurans, has become a substantial concern for the farming industry in various areas. AGD has also been found in a variety of other marine fish species, including cleaner fish that are utilized in Atlantic salmon farms as a biological control for sea lice. The most deadly bacterial infections include vibriosis, photobacteriosis, furunculosis, flexibacteriosis, streptococcosis, lactococcosis, BKD, mycobacteriosis, and piscirickettsiosis. Some infections that were once thought to be only found in freshwater aquaculture, such as furunculosis (Aeromonas salmonicida), Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) (Renibacterium salmoninarum), and some kinds of streptococcosis, are now common in marine culture.

In Bivalves, Vibriosis, Rickettsiosis and Nocardiosis can all result in severe economic losses. Vaccines are already available for a number of commercially significant bacterial and viral illnesses that have been shown to be effective in fish. In comparison to human disease research, fish pathology is still in its infancy. In instance, studies on the pathophysiology of illness in mollusks are scarce in comparison to human disease, and nomenclature is still evolving in certain cases. The need of maintaining a refined understanding of pathology of many organ systems of these varied species, as well as teaching the scientific community about the usefulness of pathology, has been highlighted by the rising intense production and usage of aquatic species. Along with new developing tools in diagnosis, histopathology is still a critical tool for researching the patho-morphological characteristics of diseases today. Aquatic pathology must be treated similarly to other fields such as genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and immunology since it is crucial for the finest fundamental research, environmental monitoring, and aquaculture disease research.
