Metazoan parasites in meagre and gilthead seabream aquaculture: monogeneans, from biology to infection management
2021
Pathologies represent a relevant bottleneck for aquaculture development and must be taken into account in the selection of potential species for diversification. Determining pathogens affecting new and traditional cultured species as well as their potential impacts on fish health becomes essential for optimising the development and viability of fish productions. Among pathogens, monoxenous metazoans, such as platyhelminth monogeneans, have a marked influence on fish health, especially in aquaculture where they cause significant economic losses in the main fish-farming industries. Population dynamics in host-parasite systems are modulated by environmental conditions. Therefore, effective man…
