Abstract

Despite a variety of development in fish farming during the last decades, fish diseases by bacteria, virus, and parasites are still major problems in aquaculture. Aquaculture of Hounder fish is widely performed around Korea as well as Jeju island, due to relatively stable seed production, short farming period, and a higher value in market. However, intensive feeding and environmental pollution in aquacutural farm act as a great limiting factor in economic aspect. (omitted)
