Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the significant growth of aquaculture, global fishery and aquaculture production gradually increased. Aquatic food has made an increasingly important contribution to ensuring food security and nutrition. However, the prevalence of aquatic organism disease and drug abuse has informed focus issues such as the safety of fishery production, aquatic product quality, and ecological environment. Diseases have become the main bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of aquaculture. Therefore, rapid diagnosis, immune prevention, and precise medication are considered important ways of solving various types of aquatic organism disease, reducing drug residues, and improving the quality of aquatic products.
We are launching a Special Issue, entitled “Prevention and Control of Aquatic Organism Disease”, which calls for contributions on diseases in aquaculture. This Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- The epidemiology of aquatic organism disease;
- The isolation and identification of pathogens;
- Methods of pathogen detection;
- Disease prevention and treatment.
