As the field of parasitology continues to expand its horizons and capabilities, so does global aquaculture. Finfish aquaculture now surpasses wild fisheries in its capacity to provide food for an expanding human population and also serves to support a flourishing aquarium trade and conserve wild populations. Aquaculture intensification, coupled with changing climatic conditions, has exacerbated some parasitic diseases, generating new challenges for diagnosis and treatment, and causing considerable economic losses.
