Diseases and disorders of finfish in cage culture

This book discusses the diseases and disorders of finfish in cage culture. It is divided into 4 parts. Part 1 discusses the cage culture system and contains 2 chapters: (1) introduction and history of cage culture; and (2) overview of cage culture. Part II discusses coldwater fish and contains 3 chapters: (3) infectious diseases of coldwater fish in marine and brackish water; (4) infectious diseases of coldwater fish in fresh water; and (5) non-infectious disorders of coldwater fish. Part III discusses warmwater fish and also contains 3 chapters: (6) infectious diseases of warmwater fish in marine and brackish waters; (7) infectious diseases of warmwater fish in fresh water; and (8) non-infectious disorders of warmwater fish. The last part only contains 1 chapter: (9) sporadic, emerging diseases and disorders. Available In Print Chapter: 1 (Page no: 1) Introduction and history of cage culture.

Finfish is the least costly animal protein to produce and is the primary source of protein in most developing countries. In recent years the catch-fish industry has declined significantly, and cage culture is now widely used to raise both warm and cold water fish. Due to the close proximity ofother fish, aquatic organisms, pollutants and water borne pathogens, cage culture fish are especially susceptible to disease. This book is a practical and authoritative reference to infectious and noninfectious diseases of cold and warm water finfish in cage culture. It is designed foracquaculturists who use cage culture, and also for fish health consultants, fish pathologists, and researchers in diagnostic laboratories

* Reviews relevant research literature
* Gives a practical, authoritative guide to infectious and non-infectious diseases and disorders
* Provides information relevant for both cold and warm water cage culture
* Leading authors from North America, Asia and Europe

Many fish are now farmed in cages, but in such a confined environment they may be particularly prone to certain diseases or disorders. This book is a practical and authoritative reference to infectious and non-infectious diseases and disorders of cold and warm water finfish in cage culture.

Many fish are now farmed in cages, but in such a confined environment they may be particularly prone to certain diseases or disorders. Written by leading authors from North America, Asia and Europe, this work reviews relevant research literature to the subject. It is a practical, authoritative guide to infectious and non-infectious diseases and disorders and provides information relevant for both cold and warm water cage culture. This new edition is a timely update on important advances in the understanding of infectious diseases of finfish. The content has been significantly updated to reflect current knowledge and the developments in the fish production industry, including the dramatic increases in production in the Asia-Pacific region. An important resource for aquaculturalists, fish health consultants and fish pathologists. This new edition is a timely update due to important advances in the understanding of infectious diseases of finfish. The content has been significantly updated to reflect current knowledge and the developments in the fish production industry in the last ten years, including the dramatic increases in production in the Asia-Pacific region. This book is a practical reference to infectious and noninfectious diseases of cold and warm water finfish in cage culture. It is designed for aquaculturists who use cage culture, and also for fish health consultants, fish pathologists, and researchers in diagnostic laboratories
