Integrated Pathogen Management Strategies in Fish Farming

摘要: Abstract Integrated pathogen management (IPM) is a holistic approach that gathers the best available preventative, treatment, and control strategies to minimize impact of pathogens in fish production, while striving increase sustainability. These do not necessarily aim eradicate pathogens; more likely, they are methods keep them at levels which cause relatively little on welfare overall farm production therefore economic losses. The development IPM starts by gathering knowledge pathogen, host, environmental risk factors. This followed development, evaluation feasibility, implementation strategies. Monitoring disease (pathogen surveillance, host performance, environment) crucial review effectiveness applied revise them, based gained. A broad range approaches (the IPMS toolbox), with examples for specific pathogens, future perspectives presented.
