Increased interest in fish culture has also increased awareness of and experience with parasites that affect fish health, growth, and survival.Identification of parasites and their basic treatment is very important because a common mistake of fish culturists is misdiagnosing disease problems and treating their sick fish with the wrong medication or chemical.
