Abstract
Fishes play a pivotal role in fulfilling the vast demand for food virtually all over the world. Fish is a major source of large amount of healthy protein and many nutrients among the naturally available foods. Possibility of diseases and environmental contamination are major threats to the aquaculture and fish farming industries. All fishes carry parasites and pathogens from their natural habitat. As such, novel approaches are required to effectively control parasites and pathogens. Nanoparticles have tremendous potential in aquaculture owing to their unique properties such as very large “surface area to volume” aspect ratios, lower melting point, specific optical properties, and mechanical strengths as compared to their bulk or higher-scale counterparts. The current book chapter covers the possible uses of nanotechnological approaches for the control of fish diseases in aquaculture. Besides, it gives a general idea about different fish diseases and the conventional methods for controlling the diseases.
