In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how poor water quality and environmental stress can weaken Nile tilapia's immunity and increase severe parasitic infections in commercial aquaculture systems. We examine the impact of ammonia, low oxygen, bird vectors, tissue damage, and optimized praziquantel treatments that improve fish survival and food safety. Climate-driven parasite spread and farm management strategies are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Evaluation of praziquantel effectiveness in treating Nile tilapia clinostomid infections and its relationships to fish health and water quality" by Mahdy, Olfat A., et al.

“Environmental hygiene failures initiated a biological cascade that enabled parasites to invade, establish, and progressively destroy essential fish organ systems.”
