Description
Good fish health and welfare are essential components of sustainable aquaculture and, in this regard, fish parasites constitute a major constraint to production. The aquaculture industries of areas affected by various disease outbreaks have suffered considerably from the impacts of marine and freshwater parasites. It is fundamentally important to take steps to prevent parasite infection, as well as to properly identify, monitor and treat outbreaks when they occur.This high quality and authoritative ebook Fish Parasites: A Handbook of Protocols for their Isolation, Culture and Transmission answers questions on how aquatic animal diseases can be properly prevented, identified, monitored, treated and managed. This resource provides an essential guide for those who are currently researching fish-parasite relations, as well as for those who may study fish health and welfare more generally or otherwise have broader interests in fish parasites. 432 p.
