HEALTH MONITORING OF AQUATIC ANIMALS

INTRODUCTION TO HEALTH AND HEALTH OF AQUATIC ANIMALS

1st. Health - Causes of disease; major pathogenic factors, predisposing factors of the disease, the consequences of the disease, impact of the disease on reproductive activity, production technologies and implications for health; prophylaxis; health policy.

2nd. Hygiene - Major push factors of unhealthiness in marine aquatic species. Anthropogenic natural. The importance of species.

3rd. Hygiene and Public Health - Quality of shellfish waters. Illnesses and diseases transmitted through the consumption of fish and invertebrates from fishing or aquaculture. Public health inspection (bivalves).

PATHOLOGY OF HEALTH AND MARINE INVERTEBRATES

1 Introduction - Basic concepts, the importance of hygiene and sanitation in animal production; factors disturbing the equilibrium state sanitary-hygienic, economic importance to the sector.

2nd. Health bivalve molluscs - Disease; species ecology; interrelationships of sanity with the media, the causes of disease, intercurrent factors.

3rd. Defense mechanisms in marine invertebrates - physical, humoral, cellular.

4th. The pathogens - agents polluters; physical agents, biological agents - parasitic and microbial, other aggressors.

5th. Monitoring - in culture systems intensive and extensive.

6th. Pathology of crustaceans.

PATHOLOGY AND HEALTH OF FISH

1st. Introduction - Introduction to the concept of aquaculture / fish farming and the relationship between the industrialization of the production process and the outbreak of diseases in fish, with epizootic proportions. Concepts prophylaxis health requirements for fish.

2nd. Harvesting and sending material to the laboratory for research on diseases of fish - Approach to properly collect and send samples to the laboratory and information of interest to the development of backstory.

3rd. Zoonoses transmitted by consumption of fish - Measures of prophylaxis and current legislation to protect public health.

4th. Theoretical notions of therapy in aquaculture - Legislative Summary of use of medicinal substances in aquaculture; interpretation of results and treatment recommendations.

PATHOLOGY AND HEALTH OF TURTLES

1. Introduction focusing on the most frequent pathologies in both wildlife as (and especially) in captivity.
