Antimicrobial Resistance in Fisheries

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is becoming a major health concern for both humans and animals. AMR is increasingly being found in aquatic animal systems, as well as in human and terrestrial animal health systems. Because it deals with the aquatic environment, the fisheries industry is critical to the whole health system. The blue economy is a result of this sector, which is thought to be crucial to the global economy. The economic benefits are near equal for both capture and farmed fisheries. With the increasing intensification of culture fisheries, there is a growing fear of AMR spreading throughout the industry. With the premise in the current context, the chapter discusses AMR in the fisheries and systems over the previous three decades, with an emphasis on the future trend for management.
