  abstract = {{T}he profound changes in breeding and rearing systems along with the intensification of tropical aquaculture production, especially in {S}outh-{E}ast {A}sia, tend to increase the occurrence of epizooties and enzootic diseases, of which the socio-economic and environmental impacts amount to hundreds of millions of {US} $ per year. {B}ecause of the variety of cultured species and culture environments, diseases are numerous and their natures are generally multi-factorial, thus complicating health management. {U}ntil now, {A}sian fish-culturists have explored exclusively or essentially the chemotherapeutic register, which is known to result in the accumulation of residues in the environment and/or fish flesh, and to promote antibiotic resistance, including through the transfer of resistance between bacterial species. {A}lternatives to this chemical strategy are urgently needed to secure the health management of cultured fish, in particular in the field of epidemiology and ecopathology. {E}copathology is a branch of analytical epidemiology that explores and analyzes the different variables of an animal production system in order to individualize the risk factors responsible for creating the setting of a pathogen or disease breakthrough. {T}his holistic approach, which regards pathology as one of the outcomes of a productive system, is very rarely used in aquaculture. {T}his article provides a synthesis on the health issues of fish breeding systems in the tropics, with emphasis on {S}outh {E}ast {A}sia, and illustrates the benefits of an ecopathological strategy that was deployed to elucidate then alleviate the mortality of {P}angasius spp. reared in floating cages in the {M}ekong {R}iver, {V}ietnam.},
