The 3rd edition of this book provides the fisheries and aquaculture industry with vital information on the use of sedation and anaesthetics in the avoidance of stress and physical damage, which can easily be caused by crowding, capture, handling, transportation and release. New emphasis on fish pain and welfare follows the rapidly developing interest in this area, as well as in anaesthesia and legislation with an international perspective. Personnel involved in the aquaculture industry including fish farmers, fish veterinarians, fisheries scientists and fish biologists along with small animal veterinarians, animal laboratory managers and government and regulatory personnel will find this book a valuable and practical resource.
The two major advancements of the book are the addition of a chapter on pain in fish and the revision of the chapters on anesthesia techniques in fish. Taking into consideration the expanding field of animal welfare, the authors include a new chapter summarizing the current literature on nociception in aquatic animals, and supports the conclusion of many researchers that even though aquatic animals may not perceive or experience pain in the same manner as higher vertebrates, the precautionary principles should be adopted when utilizing potentially stressful or painful techniques. The revised chapters on individual anesthetic compounds categorized by route of administration (inhalation, oral, parenteral) have been completely reorganized and expanded to incorporate essential new information and updated references.
