About this webinar: This presentation will give an overview of well-known and emerging tilapia bacterial and viral diseases. As a commercially important food fish, tilapia are the second-most common farmed finfish species, worldwide, belonging to the family Cichlidae. Although they are hardy, prolific, fast-growing tropical fish, and have been farmed for more than 2,500 years, with intensive aquaculture production there has been an increase in incidence and severity of disease.
Learning Objectives - participants will understand:
1. Important common and emerging viral and bacterial diseases in tilapia;
2. How these disease affect tilapia and tilapia production; and,
3. Approaches to diagnosing, treating and/or preventing infections
