Fish flukes (flatworm parasites) with direct lifecycles can weaken and kill captive fish and threaten lucrative industries like finfish aquaculture and public aquaria in Australia and globally. Traditional approaches and molecular techniques will identify monogenean flukes in a family containing known pathogenic species distributed worldwide. Knowledge of fish disease is paramount for quarantine, risk assessments for import/export and for managing pathogen outbreaks in aquaculture. Benefits include: economic/social improvements in regional/rural Australia where fish farms are expanding; international excellence and core research training in fish parasitology; profitable, exportable expertise; knowledge of endemic and shared pathogens.

具有直接生命周期的鱼吸虫（扁形虫寄生虫）可以削弱和杀死圈养鱼类，并威胁到澳大利亚和全球的鳍鱼水产养殖和公共水族馆等利润丰厚的行业。 传统的方法和分子技术将确定单殖吸虫在一个家庭包含已知的致病物种分布在世界各地。 鱼类疾病知识对于检疫、进出口风险评估和管理水产养殖中的病原体爆发至关重要。 好处包括：澳大利亚区域/农村的经济/社会改善，养鱼场正在扩大;鱼类寄生虫学方面的国际卓越和核心研究培训;有利可图的可出口专业知识;地方病和共有病原体的知识。
