Fish quarantine and fish diseases in Southeast Asia. Report of a workshop held in Jakarta, Indonesia 7-10 December 1982.
1983
Evidence indicates that uncontrolled entry of live fish into countries of Southeast Asia has at times resulted in the transfer of pathogenic parasites and microorganisms that pose a great economic and ecological threat to the valuable and vulnerable fish stocks. The only practical means of preventing the entry or spread of these disease agents and pests is the institution and implementation of appropriate quarantine measures. Although the economic importance of fish diseases is well recognized, at present there is only limited information available on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the diseases. Therefore, this report recommends that priority be given to establishing and upgrading diagnostic facilities in each country. This must also be complemented by the training of staff to service them and to link them effectively to the aquaculture industry.
