Aquaculture is the world’s fastest-growing food production system and has been so for the past few decades. However, its full growth potential is affected by the increasing number of infectious and contagious diseases that lead to economic losses for aquatic food producers. Biosecurity – measures that prevent, control and eradicate infectious diseases – in aquaculture plays an important role in boosting aquatic animal health, ensuring the impacts of disease and economic losses to aquatic food producers are prevented or mitigated.
