A successful farming season is always what every aquaculture farmer hopes for. However, with current deteriorating environmental conditions, even with good preventive measures, unexpected incidents in the pond are unavoidable. Faced with such situations, it is necessary to timely diagnose and treat diseases in cultured animals to restore their health, ensuring growth rate, survival rate, and yield for the farming season.
