Pathogen Transmission in Aquaculture - Minimizing Risks

Pathogen Transmission in Aquaculture - Minimizing Risks

The risk of pathogen transmission in aquaculture is very precise. In this article, I assume a witness at what can be done to minimize this.

The measures, which can be taken to restrict pathogen transmission in aquacultural spend of wastewater, are the same as in agricultural spend, namely wastewater treatment, slice restriction, control of wastewater application, human exposure control and promotion of hygiene. Workers in wastewater aquaculture ponds, may suffer due to dreadful quality of water, in a similar contrivance to that of the contamination of fish or plants grown in excreta-fertilized or wastewater ponds.

Transmission of pathogens can occur through persons handling and preparing base fish or aquatic plants, which develop human exposure control and hygiene indispensable features of wastewater aquaculture programs. Both the treatment applied to excreta, nightsoil or wastewater before introduction to a wastewater aquaculture pond will have an carry out on pathogen transmission and the quality of water in the pond. The rate of kill application also effects the quality of water in the pond.

In the past, these factors have not been controlled for health reasons, but to ensure that a pond is not overloaded organically or chemically to the point, where it will not encourage fish life or be helpful for the growth of aquatic plants. Reliance has been placed primarily on minimizing the risk of pathogen transmission, through consumption by thorough cooking of the products. This has not always been friendly. And, where the pond products are eaten uncooked, no health protection is provided. In some aquacultural practices, for example in rural Indonesia, depuration techniques are old in attempting to decontaminate fish from aquaculture bacteria in the period immediately preceding harvesting.
