Monitoring emerging diseases of fish and shellfish using electronic sources.

摘要: New and emerging fish shellfish diseases represent an important constraint to the growth sustainability of many aquaculture sectors have also caused substantial economic environmental impacts in wild stocks. This paper details results 8 years a monitoring programme for aquatic animal reported around world. The objectives were track global occurrences and, more specifically, identify provide advanced warning disease threats that may affect farmed stocks UK. A range electronic information sources, including Internet newsletters, alerting services news agency releases, was systematically searched reports new diseases, presentations known pathogens occurring geographic locations or host species. database established log key findings, 250 events 52 countries recorded during period study. These included 14 further 16 Viruses parasites accounted majority (55% 24%, respectively), most category (in which viruses dominant). Emerging disproportionally salmonid species (33%), populations (62%) Europe North America (80%). lack from some regions with significant fishery production indicate are not being recognized these areas owing insufficient surveillance testing under-reported. discussed relation processes underpinning emergence environment.
