Combating Antimicrobial Resistance in Aquaculture Across South Asia: WorldFish in Action

Abstract

This blog highlights WorldFish’s efforts to address antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture across South Asia through community engagement, capacity building, and evidence-based interventions. It showcases activities in countries including Bangladesh, India, and Nepal that focus on improving biosecurity, raising AMR awareness, and promoting responsible antimicrobial use among fish farmers and practitioners. The blog emphasizes the importance of regional collaboration and people-centric approaches to address shared AMR challenges. The experiences presented demonstrate how locally grounded interventions can support sustainable antimicrobial stewardship in aquaculture systems.
