Description
Fishes are critically important to the welfare of this planet and its occupants, the health of both wild and captive fish populations paramount to our survival. Fish Diseases and Medicine presents the gross pathology of the most commonly encountered diseases and syndromes of fish in an organ system-based approach. It provides an overview of the diseases and disorders of tropical, ornamental, bait and food fish from freshwater, brackish and marine environments. This review of basic fish anatomy and medicine is easy to read and useful. Each disease is discussed in well-organized sections including an overview, etiology, route of transmission, host range, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, and management/control. This book fills the current void in the literature, providing an accessible and up-to-date book. The overview of fish physiology and water quality is incredibly helpful and would be an excellent resource for students and residents. 412 p.
