Abstract

The sustainability of aquaculture industry is critical both for global food security and economic welfare. However, the massive wealth of pathogenic bacteria poses a key challenge to the development of a sustainable bio-control method. Recent advances in genome sequencing study combined with pan-genome analysis can be an efficacious management applied to numerous aquatic pathogens. Thus, routine comparative genome analyses of aquatic pathogens will deduce the phylogenomic diversity and possible evolutionary trendsof aquatic bacterial pathogen strains, elucidate the mechanisms of pathogenesis, as well as estimate patterns of pathogen transmission across epidemiological scales. This study also reviews comparative pan-genome analysis with a particular focus on controlling aquatic diseases, especially for: (i) re-identifying the previously misidentified strain with high accuracy and discovering novel isolates that may be associated with high rateof fish mortalities, (ii) developing routine pan-PCR based on highly informative identified genetic targets that are capable of distinguishing all the clinical isolates, and finally (iii) studying the multivalent vaccine following reverse vaccinology towards the prevention of numerous aquatic animal diseases.
