The public health hazards related to antimicrobial use in aquaculture include the development and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and resistance genes, and the occurrence of antimicrobial residues in products of aquaculture. The greatest potential risk to public health associated with antimicrobial use in aquaculture is thought to be the development of a reservoir of transferable resistance genes in bacteria in aquatic environments from which such genes can be disseminated by horizont al gene transfer to other bacteria and ultimately reach human pathogens. However, a quantitative risk assessment on antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture is difficult to perform owing to lack of data and the many different and complex pathways of gene flow.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial organisms does not recognize biological, physical, or sectoral boundaries. Its potential transmission pathways include broad areas of disciplines that are often traditionally segregated. The collective and coordinated actions across these multiple disciplines can leverage on the strengthened sectoral accountability towards AMR mitigation. This ensures that the efforts of nations to address this global issue will benefit from the respective expertise of each sector, and that actions are also well-sustained by their respective mandates.
