Abstrakt: This research presents a comprehensive study aimed at evaluating water quality parameters, investigating the seasonal trends of fish diseases and devising a disease calendar to enhance early management strategies within the fish farming systems of North Bihar. The analysis covers multiple districts including Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, and Vaishali, within North Bihar, offering insights into the intricate interplay between water quality and disease dynamics. The study involves a meticulous analysis of vital water quality parameters, such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, ammonia, and nitrite, in fish farms reporting disease occurrences. Concurrently, an in-depth assessment of water samples was conducted to assess their suitability for fish culture. The research reveals notable variations in water temperature, pH levels, dissolved oxygen concentrations, alkalinity, ammonia, and nitrite content across different seasons and districts. Notably, these variations hold significance for fish health and aquaculture management practices. Furthermore, the study offers a comprehensive overview of the seasonality of parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and other diseases prevalent in the studied districts. This includes detailed information on causative agents, diagnostic characteristics, and recommended treatment measures. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding the seasonal patterns of fish diseases for effective disease management, thereby contributing to the sustainability and success of fish farming operations in North Bihar.
