The aquaculture industry has caused direct and indirect contact between humans and target species, including fish. Human contact with different aquatic species can cause the spread of common diseases between humans and aquatic animals and their transmission, which is very dangerous for workers and breeders of aquatic organisms. Therefore, maintaining the biological safety of workers and those who deal with aquaculture centers is recognized as one of the important necessities in this profession. Considering that bacterial agents are one of the most common pathogenic groups in aquatic environments, some important bacterial agents in aquaculture systems that can be the basis for transmitting of common diseases between humans and aquatic animals have been discussed. In this research 4 important groups of bacterial agents common between humans and aquatic animals including Mycobacteria, Streptococcus, Erysipelotrichaceae and Vibrionaceae were investigated. The results showed that the Vibrionaceae group was more prevalent than others. The information presented in the present study can be used to raise awareness and maintain the biological safety of workers and aquaculture farmers who are directly or indirectly related to aquaculture centers. Also, this research recommends the proper implementation of health and biosecurity management protocols to maintain the health of workers in aquaculture centers. |
