Aquatic Animal Health
Aquatic Animal Health refers to the study and management of the health and well-being of animals living in water, such as fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. This field focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases that can affect these animals, ensuring they thrive in their environments. Healthy aquatic animals are crucial for biodiversity, ecosystem balance, and the aquaculture industry.
Maintaining aquatic animal health involves monitoring water quality, nutrition, and stress factors that can lead to illness. It also includes implementing biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of diseases among populations. Effective management practices help protect both wild and farmed aquatic species.
