Application of nanotechnology in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the fish diseases

The occurrence of the disease is one of the main threats to the intensive aquaculture system. With the development of the aquaculture industry, it is expected that the fish will encounter various infectious and non-infectious diseases. In addition to treatment costs, the use of antibiotics in the control of infectious diseases can also cause resistance in bacteria. Therefore, today, the use of additives such as vitamin and mineral supplements, probiotics, prebiotics, and various nanoparticles to improve the growth performance and health of fish, increase the performance of the fish immune system, and resistance to diseases has expanded. The aim of this study was the investigation of the use of anotechnology in aquaculture  and effect of it on fish species health, the use of them in nanocarrieres, nanovaccine, nanosensores, etc. According to the increasing trend of studies in the field of nanotechnology, we can hope to provide other new methods in the field of health management of fish farms and prevent damages caused by the occurrence of diseases in the aquaculture industry.
