Fish Health Management Considerations in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems – Part 2: Pathogens

Recirculating aquaculture systems, also known as water reuse systems, have become more and more popular. Recirculating systems are commonly found in aquaculture facilities, wholesale and retail tropical fish facilities, and public aquaria. However, in order to successfully and most efficiently operate one of these systems, a goodunderstanding of fish health management considerations is critical.
