Abstrakt: The article reports on the streptococcosis in red hybrid tilapia commercial farms in Malaysia. It states that streptococcosis is one of the fish diseases that is reported in intensive aquaculture systems and causes high economic loss to fish farmers. It adds that the occurrence of the disease outbreak increases when fish are stressed due to non-optimal water temperature, low dissolved oxygen, high nitrite levels and high culture densities.
