- General
Objectives: To mitigate the increase outbreaks of aquatic animal diseases it is important to rapid identification and understanding of the physiological imbalance from new pathogens in the host to enable the disease control. This knowledge will be gained through lectures, group discussion, case studies, written assignment submissions, and student presentations.
Outcome: Students will be trained on the major infectious disease affecting global aquaculture. Evidence of new emerging diseases in hampering the aquaculture field will be highlighted. Major focus will be on the pathophysiological effects during the infectious diseases in fish as major point and few cases on fish/shrimp/prawn will be discussed.
