Aquaculture is one of the promising areas of agriculture, but the intensification of the industry can negatively affect the ecosystem, which leads to the need for constant environmental monitoring, using modern methods such as genetic diagnostics using polymerase chain reaction. To expand the monitoring capabilities, the authors developed diagnostic kits based on PCR for identifying certain viruses and bacteria that are particularly dangerous for hydrobionts. Extensive use of the PCR diagnostic method for environmental monitoring will significantly reduce the duration of the study and more fully examine the population to obtain reliable information about the health of fish and the ecosystem as a whole.
