The world is currently experiencing an age of information overload, as information about anything and almost everything is easily obtainable. However, essential information that could help a community strive and survive is often left unread in scientific papers and grey literature, thus unable to reach its intended audience. Fishers, specifically in developing countries such as the Philippines, are still known to be information-poor despite the rich scientific knowledge produced by concerned agencies. This chapter describes and analyses the information needs and seeking behaviour among fishers in the coastal communities in Iloilo, Philippines. Taking the initiative and time to profile how specific groups consume information can help narrow the information gap and aid concerned agencies to create and conceptualise successful, sustainable, and effective information, education, and communication campaigns.

In collaboration with its partners, ASFA has worked across multiple platforms to raise awareness and understanding of the effective promotion of grey literature to the managers and users of this valuable information source. This chapter presents the outreach activities, promotional materials, and training sessions that have been successfully implemented to achieve this aim, and reflects on both successes and areas where improvements are yet to be made.

Edwardsiellosis is an acute to chronic systemic disease in fish characterized by exophthalmia, ascites, hernia, and severe lesions of the internal organs. It is caused by Edwardsiella tarda, a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen implicated in enormous economic losses of cultured seawater and freshwater fish species. E. tarda has a broad host range and geographic distribution, and possesses important virulence factors that enhance its survival and pathogenesis in hosts. This chapter discusses some of the recent research on edwardsiellosis in fish including the etiologic agent's identification, pathology, diagnosis, and virulence factors, and as well as novel strategies aimed at preventing and controlling the disease.

Viral nervous necrosis (VNN), also referred to as viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), has been reported in at least 120 cultured or wild marine and freshwater fish species and has caused serious economic losses among farmed marine fish species in the past decades. Since the first description of this disease at the end of the 1980s, substantial amounts of researches have been instrumental in understanding the mechanisms involved in fish infection, development of reliable diagnostic methods, and disease prevention and control. This chapter presents some important aspects of the disease with particular emphasis on etiologic agent, clinical signs and gross pathology of the disease, histopathology, disease risk factors, virus propagation and identification, molecular diagnostics, and concomitant prevention and control methods.
