Data collection tools on disease and AMU in aquaculture

Abstract

This presentation focuses on the implementation of digital tools for efficient data collection and disease outbreak management in aquaculture. It introduces tools like the Fish Epidemiology and Health Economics Survey and AMU surveys to gather baseline data on farm practices, inputs, and biosecurity. These tools enable offline data collection and real-time reporting through platforms like KoboToolbox. The presentation also discusses agrovet surveys and the development of diagnostic guides for sampling and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The insights aim to refine national strategies, improve surveillance, and support One Health-focused AMU/AMR mitigation in aquatic animal health​.
