Fish farmer's guide to combating parasitic infections in turbot aquaculture

Intensive culture of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, is a successful and well consolidated industry in Western Europe and, more recently, in Chile and China. Modern turbot aquaculture is usually carried out in flow-through, land-based facilities with a high level of process control technology. Even in successful turbot farms, a few parasitic diseases can have a devastating influence on the production of this species. Developed under the EU Horizon 2020-funded ParaFishControl project, this guide focuses on the two main parasitic diseases that affect turbot culture, providing clear, practical information and advice for fish farmers.
