Abstract
Aquaculture is an increasingly important source of animal protein for a growing global
population. Disease is a major constraint to production, with resultant socio-economic
impacts for individuals, communities and economies which rely on aquaculture.
Aquatic animal health is also strongly influenced by human factors, ranging from
international trade regulations to the behaviours of individuals working in aquaculture.
This article summarises the human factors associated with aquaculture production
using international examples for illustration.
