Fish Farmer’s Guide to Combating Parasitic Infections in Turbot Aquaculture

The ParaFishControl project has provided a strong basis for future success of European aquaculture by investigating and developing new diagnostic and control systems for parasitic infections. In this guide, fish farmers can find background information on the two main parasitic diseases that affect farming of turbot in European countries. Here the farmer can find valuable information on clinical signs, identification of the pathogen, biology of the parasite, the life cycle and recommendations for control. This guide does not provide comprehensive details but may serve as an easily comprehended and necessary support during the daily handling and management of these fish. The guidance provided for individual parasites reflects the current state of knowledge for these pathogens and has been informed, in part, by research conducted through the ParaFishControl project.
