Fish Diseases and Disorders: Volume 3: Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Infections (Fish Diseases and Disorders)

This third and final volume in the acclaimed "Fish Diseases and Disorders" trilogy addresses infectious diseases of finfish and shellfish caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi. Topics covered include infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, infectious hematopoiectic necrosis virus, viral diseases of cold- and warm-water fish, rickettsial and chlamydial infections, furunculosis, motile aeromonads, vibriosis, flavobacterial diseases and shellfish diseases. Written by experts in each discipline and updated throughout to reflect new developments in the field, including new chapters on alphaviruses, oncogenic viruses and genomics and proteomics, this is a must-have reference for fish health specialists and veterinarians, microbiologists, zoologists and researchers, and students in aquaculture.

Focusing largely on finfish, it covers non-infectious disorders of development, growth and physiology of wild and captive species, including genetic conditions, respiratory disorders, stress physiology, environmental factors and a new contribution on the relationship between welfare issues and disorders associated with intensive fish culture. The book is indispensable for zoologists, fish health specialists and veterinarians, researchers and students, and those involved with fisheries and aquaculture. Annotation. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on parasites that cause disease in fish. Its primary objective is to produce a comprehensive and authoritative review from experts who are actively working in the area or have contributed to the understanding of diseases/disorders. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of three new chapters and four of the original chapters have new authors. All other chapters have been thoroughly updated since the first edition was published in 1995. This book will be of significant interest to researchers and students of aquaculture, fisheries, parasitology and veterinary medicine

Fish is the principal source of protein for people in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. While most fish are caught from nature, aquaculture or fish farming is now making a significant contribution to total fish production. More intensive conditions of aquaculture often result in a higher incidence of fish diseases and disorders. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on protozoan and metazoan parasites that cause disease in fish. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of three new chapters and four of the original chapters have new authors.
