Course Objectives
• To provide holistic knowledge on fish and shellfish pathogens and their control measures.
• To undertake surveillance of existing and emerging fish and shellfish diseases.
• To develop improved diagnostic techniques for the detection of existing and emerging fish and shellfish diseases.
