Diseases of White Sea Bream (Diplodus sargus L.) Reared in Experimental and Commercial Conditions in Greece
A bacteriological and parasitological study of the white sea bream, Diplodus sargus L., was conducted as this species is a potential candidate for aquaculture in Mediterranean countries. The study comprised fish reared in commercial cages (2 farms) located in different geographical localities, as we...
