“…The practice of aquaculture referred to as small scale rural aquaculture has gained a special attention in this regard, both in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and internationally (Ahmed & Lorica, 2002;Bene et al, 2016;Brummet & Williams, 2000). In line with this, over 80% of the global aquaculture production is from small scale farms that are commonly owned and managed by families (De Silva & Davy, 2009;Gupta, 2018).…”

Rural fish farming is being promoted as a good source of protein and income diversification to fight poverty and inequality. However, its actual contribution to these rural households and local community at large is little known. Through interviews with 89 farmers' and 6 key informants, we examined the contribution of rural fish farming to local farmers' household income and investigate farmers' perceptions, opportunities, and constraints towards fish farming in six districts of Tanzania. Results indicated that fish farming contributed on average 13% to household incomes and that it explained 5% of the variation of the household income while 84% of the variation was due to non-fish sources. The majority (79%) of the farmers wanted to continue with fish farming, 9% planned to quit, and 12% had not decided whether to continue or not. Conclusively, much higher aquaculture contribution towards rural development could be obtained if appropriate measures are taken.

“…Though the aquaculture sector is growing at an average growth rate of 6% per year, overfishing activities necessitate the increased production through aquaculture. A plethora of studies approximated that the aquaculture production needs to be increased by 20-30% to compensate the declining natural fishery wealth in our seas (Gupta 2018). Many review works emphasized to enlighten the unquestionable need for aquaculture with respect to food security.…”

The world human population is growing on an exponential phase and pace. Aquaculture, raising of aquatic animals in artificial or facilitated ecosystem, is evolving as the rapidly growing food production sector globally. The growth of aquaculture industry has been speculated to be inevitable that may certainly contribute toward meeting the food security of growing global population. India, with a vast coastline and enormous marine resources, is having greater potential to build up this industry as a productive economic sector. However, the bacterial infections in aquaculture hatcheries and farms cause a huge loss in productivity and remain a major challenge for the growth of this vital industry. Considering the ill effects to environment and public health, risk of development of antibiotic resistance, and persistence of antibiotic residues in aquaculture animal foods, it has necessitated the regulatory bodies across the globe to restrict the usage of antibiotics for aquaculture disease management. Hence, finding alternate measures for the aquaculture disease management in both hatcheries and forms is the current need. It has been well documented that exhibition of virulence factors and formation of biofilms are the major factors for the establishment of disease in aquaculture animals by the bacterial pathogens. Both these factors are being regulated by quorum sensing (QS), which is a population densitydependent expression of selected phenotypes in a coordinated manner through
