Abstract
The emergence of the aquatic diseases and its impacts on the economy of the Indian population has been overloaded due to the strict intensification of the aquaculture activities for its increase production. Now, this contributes to the unknown disease emergence causing complete crop loss in terms of high morbidity and mortality has become a challenging issue for the fish health. Here we review a few of the emerging and significant viral pathogens of Indian origin of finfish, including carp edema virus and Tilapia lake virus which have been a newly emerging in this present year and some nodaviruses, ranaviruses and cyprinid herpes virus which have been known since the first half of the 20th century and found to emerge as aquaculture has undergone a dramatic expansion in the past years. Thus, the majority of the data in this review identifies with newly emerging pathogens that debilitate the fish farming industry in India.
