Fish cultivation has shown an increasing importance in the panorama of food security since the high rate of the demographic growth affects the population increase, which could endanger food supply. This review discusses the importance of ectoparasites control (Trichodina sp. and monogenean) for the tilapia production. Despite its importance, there is a lack of studies relating fish cultivation and parasitological aspects. Moreover, it is well known in the literature that parasitism entails considerable economic losses in fish farming. Thus, it is inevitable the occurrence of higher incidence of disease by ectoparasites and other pathogens; consequently, there is an increased demand for hygienic-sanitary control by means of the implementation of actions to prevent the entry of pathogens, preventing their dissemination to other production units. Natural features, such as intermittency of socioeconomic characteristics related to community traditions regarding the use of water, are important conditions in the definition of significant parameters for monitoring of its quality. In the context of data in a health program, it is necessary that the identification of a source of a problem be accurate, supporting the implementation of a biosafety protocol in fish farming
