Abstract
Aquaculture is one of the world's fastest-growing ways of producing food. To mitigate the outbreak of disease, which is the key issue in aquaculture, chemotherapeutic approaches are highly used. Prolonged and improper use of chemicals (antibiotics) leads to resistance as well as a major environmental hazard. For disease control in aquaculture, compounds or metabolites from natural biosystems are being studied. The use of seaweeds and their metabolites is important to aquaculture health and disease management to monitor pathogens. Crude or purified compounds are used in the context of water therapy or as feeding additives.
