Resolving Aquatic Animal Health Challenges in African Aquaculture

    Breakdown of the Problem 1. Components of Aquatic Animal Health Challenges: Disease Outbreaks: Bacterial (e.g., Aeromonas, Streptococcus), viral (e.g., TiLV), fungal (e.g., Saprolegnia), and parasitic infections (e.g., Ichthyophthirius). Environmental Stressors: Poor water quality, overcrowding, temperature fluctuations. Nutrition Deficiencies: Inadequate or imbalanced diets weaken immune systems. Biosecurity Gaps: Unregulated fish movements, lack of quarantine,…
