The application of antimicrobials in aquaculture primarily aims to prevent and treat bacterial infections fish. Inappropriate use fish farming may result the emergence zoonotic antibiotic-resistant bacteria subsequent transmission resistant strains humans via food consumption. From recently, AMR emerged as a significant public health concern ecosystem fisheries. aquatic environment serves potential reservoir for bacteria, with practices providing an ideal breeding ground due excessive diseases. mutual inter-connection intensive systems terrestrial environments, processing industry human population creates pathways exacerbating problem further. One Health concept, which recognizes interconnectedness human, animal environmental health, enables holistic approach address challenges posed by AMR. By understanding evolution such approach, future aquaculture, being important source global protein supply, can be safeguarded. Risk mitigation strategies should based on concept contribute sustainable that protect ensure safety protection environment.
