Abstract
This report was edited by Bodrum Fisheries Research Institute with the papers provided by the trainers to the course.
The objective of the course on fish disease is to close the gap in knowledge on the diagnosis and control of diseases already affecting or posing a potential health hazard to cultured gild head sea bream and to give an introduction to the diagnosis and prevention of disease caused or induced by environmental conditions.
The participants reviewed the various aspects of fish pathology and considered the required measurements for the prevention against the frequent diseases in the Mediterranean.
It was noted that fish diseases can be genetic, nutritional, environmental, infections and parasitic.
The study of defense mechanises of the animal is essential. The internal defensive action is extremely elementary especially in bivalves, howerver, it is quite effective against microbial pathogenic agents.
It was emphasised that a proper nutrition is essential to the health of fishes as most of nutritional diseases are chronic in nature. To prevent these diseases, some precautions must be taken such as the conservation of food under a determined temperature, the use of cold storage rooms, the use of therapeutic dose of vitamin, etc.
The variation of Physico-Chemical factors in the site where the bivalves lives has a fundamental role in the sanitary status of the populations. The more or less intensive sedimentation of solid particles, the drastic changers in the salinity or temperature of the water changes on chemical parameters due to pollutants like pesticides, and overfishing and deficient management of commercial sea beds are frequently the cause of drastic diseases on productivity.
The participants suggested to organise longer general courses on pathology and more specialised courses on bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology, histopathology and microbiology. The recommended the establishment of a central library and a data base on pathology.
Acknowledgements
The Editor would like to thank the Turkish Authorities, namely the National Coordinator, Mr. Caglar Memisoglu, for the successful organisation of the course particularly for the availablity of the necessary facilities for practical and theoritical sessions.
The Editor would like also to thank the participants and the invited trainers for their positive contribution to the success of the course.
Note from the reviser
The revision and publication of this document could only be done a long time after the closure of the project. This has led to some difficulties in finalising the documents and implementing corrections, because authors and contributors as well as some of the original material or files were no longer available.
Therefore contributions from participants and session papers annexed to most of the documents were left in their original form. No language corrections were introduced, the content was not modified and left under their respective authors' responsibility.
Considering the above, we hope that the reader will understand that a standard of publication could not be maintained on a level as high as we would have liked it to be.
