The importance of applying these measures to reduce the prevalence of diseases, such as lake tilapia virus and pancreatic necrosis virus in trout, was highlighted.
The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), through the National Fisheries Health Organization (Sanipes), presented the results of the application of health management measures in hydrobiological resources during the “Fish-Vet Dialogue II: One Health and Biosecurity” , carried out by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome (Italy).
At the event, the executive president of Sanipes, Mónica Saavedra Chumbe, announced that PRODUCE carried out two specific actions: the strengthening of biosecurity measures and capacities of aquaculturists and professionals from the public and private sectors related to the aquaculture value chain. Likewise, she highlighted the importance of applying these measures to reduce the prevalence of diseases, such as lake tilapia virus and pancreatic necrosis virus in trout.
 "By applying these measures, aquaculturists improved their practices and thereby mitigated the impact of diseases, generating fewer economic losses associated with outbreaks, contributing to the competitiveness of the sector," stressed the executive president of Sanipes.
The health authority also participated in the “International Conference on the health of aquatic organisms: to vaccinate or not to vaccinate”, in which the topic of fish vaccination and recent advances on shrimp vaccines were discussed. In this sense, informed decision-making was encouraged during the event, the potential of vaccination was discussed and the associated challenges were addressed.
In its participation in the two events, PRODUCE, through Sanipes, shared knowledge and experience on biosafety, preparation and prevention of impact diseases in the aquaculture sector, as well as the need to articulate efforts between the private, public and academic sectors. to guarantee healthy and safe foods that contribute to food security.
