At ThinkAqua we know that disease can be a very significant disruptor, whether you’re a large or small-scale aquaculture producer. Ponds and cages are open to the elements and disease can enter at any time. #aquaculture #shrimp #tilapia #disease

Tilapia producers often have little more than hope that disease will not strike, so we are creating country briefs for a selection of African countries about who to contact. #aquaculture #tilapia #disease

Some of these issues will hopefully get an airing in less than a month at the 2022 World Aquatic Health Conference – in Pretoria, South Africa (December 3-7, 2022) and hosted by the @UPTuks and The World Aquatic Veterinary Association. #aquaculture #shrimp #tilapia #disease
Excited to announce a new project in #Uganda looking at a novel feeding approach for #tilapia in ponds. With our partners Rural #Aquaculture Development we are exploring feeding #blacksoldierfly to tilapia. Project funded by @KTNUK. More info @timmesseder: ow.ly/Yg5550LpeYy

@jalaiot – and @thinkaquaorg other Banyuwangi partners (@ConservationOrg, YKI and YSAI) – also deliver biosecurity advice and training to farmers to reduce disease risks in the first place, in support of the work by government agencies and #feed companies. #shrimp #aquaculture

This strengthened picture of #disease occurrence is allowing farmers and regulators to take earlier action to address challenges. The aim is that such a service can be replicated across Indonesia and provide an effective early warning system. #shrimp #aquaculture
