Addressing antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture globally

Krishna Prasad Acharya, Sarita Phuyal, Kailash Bohara.


Abstract
Aquatic animals account for up to 20% of the total animal protein in the human diet. These aquaculture species, including fish, serve as reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens that can infect humans either directly or through foodborne transmission. Common infections affecting fish handlers and consumers in aquaculture include Aeromonas hydrophilia, Mycobacterium marinum, Streptococcus iniae, Vibrio vulnificus, and Photobacterium damselae. Additionally, commercial seafood products have been identified as carriers of zoonotic pathogens. Antibiotics are used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes in aquaculture, resulting in prolonged and often irrational use of antibiotics in aquaculture systems, which aids in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the aforementioned pathogens found in aquatic systems.

Key words: Antimicrobial resistance, Aquaculture, Sustainability, One Health
