Globally, finfish aquaculture is constantly growing in both freshwater and marine environments, and there is clear potential for a significant further growth. When infection intensities in the enclosed aquaculture environment reach high levels, they may then produce disease. The difficulty posed by parasites is further exacerbated by the possibility of parasite transfer from aquaculture operations to wild fish stocks. Veterinarians are responsible for treatment using the prescribed therapeutant on the fish farm and are also involved with the aquaculture operator to ensure that the treated fish or crustaceans are safe for human consumption. The current work describes integrated control techniques, health management and treatment protocols for diseases brought on by protozoan parasites in more detail and promote their usage.
