Abstract

Diseases are the most significant constraint to the sustainable growth of aquaculture. Therefore, surveillance for aquatic animal diseases is essential for early detection of diseases which is important for management of endemic diseases and eradication or containment of exotic or emerging diseases. Often, many disease incidences in aquaculture go unreported due to unavailability of the field-level disease reporting mechanism. Therefore, there is a necessity of a mechanism that can connect farmers, field-level officers and fish health experts for strengthening the farmer-based disease reporting. Keeping the same in consideration, for improving the reporting of aquatic animal diseases in the country, an android-based GPS-enabled mobile application named as ‘ReportFishDisease (RFD)’ has been developed. Using the RFD app, the farmers can report incidence of disease in finfish, shrimps and molluscs on their farms to the field level-officers and fish disease experts as and when required, and get timely scientific advice for efficient management of diseases. The data regarding the diseases is being stored on temporal and spatial scale and can be used for mapping the disease cases. It is expected that the app would help in improving farmer-based reporting, getting scientific advice and reducing losses due to diseases.

ReportFishDisease：通过系统报告和监测疾病，支持水生动物疾病管理电子政务的 GPS 移动应用程序

疾病是水产养殖业可持续发展的最大制约因素。因此，对水生动物疾病的监测对于及早发现疾病至关重要，这对于管理地方病、根除或遏制外来或新出现的疾病也很重要。由于缺乏实地疾病报告机制，水产养殖中发生的许多疾病往往得不到报告。因此，有必要建立一个能将养殖户、现场官员和鱼类健康专家联系起来的机制，以加强以养殖户为基础的疾病报告。有鉴于此，为改进该国水生动物疾病的报告工作，开发了一款基于安卓系统的 GPS 移动应用程序，名为 "ReportFishDisease (RFD)"。使用 RFD 应用程序，养殖户可在需要时向现场官员和鱼病专家报告其养殖场的鳍鱼、对虾和软体动物的发病情况，并及时获得科学建议，以有效管理疾病。有关疾病的数据按时间和空间尺度存储，可用于绘制疾病病例图。预计该应用程序将有助于改进基于养殖户的报告，获得科学建议并减少疾病造成的损失。

期刊介绍： Aquaculture International is an international journal publishing original research papers, short communications, technical notes and review papers on all aspects of aquaculture. The Journal covers topics such as the biology, physiology, pathology and genetics of cultured fish, crustaceans, molluscs and plants, especially new species; water quality of supply systems, fluctuations in water quality within farms and the environmental impacts of aquacultural operations; nutrition, feeding and stocking practices, especially as they affect the health and growth rates of cultured species; sustainable production techniques; bioengineering studies on the design and management of offshore and land-based systems; the improvement of quality and marketing of farmed products; sociological and societal impacts of aquaculture, and more. This is the official Journal of the European Aquaculture Society.
