The biocontrol potential of the bacteriophages has been known to man since its discovery a century ago. Bacteriophage therapy or the use of bacteriophages for the management of bacterial diseases is a concept with a controversial past and hence, still an uncommon practice especially in the agricultural sector. However, in the present decade there has been a renewed interest and several successful researches owing to the better understanding of the phage biology and ecology by using modern techniques like the next generation sequencing and metagenomics.

Use of antibiotics as a therapeutic measure is the most used method for the treatment of infectious diseases including in fisheries and aquaculture. The successful use of any antibiotic in aquaculture is compromised due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. Bacteria may be intrinsically resistant to different antimicrobial agents or they may acquire resistance through horizontal gene transfer. A number of biochemical and physiological mechanisms are responsible for the development of this resistance.
