(Infectious diseases are among the greatest constraint to ...)
Infectious diseases are among the greatest constraint to the expansion and realisation of the full potential of aquaculture. This valuable reference text concentrates on the infectious viral and bacterial diseases most important in aquaculture, and also addresses their existence in natural environments. The author organises the viral and bacterial diseases of fish into groups or families that are most extensively cultured. Dr. Plumb creates a balance between diseases of warmwater, coolwater, and coldwater fishes, and presents information on important disease problems not only in North America, but also around the world.

Aiming to increase the understanding of the relationship between the aquatic environment and the development of infectious fish diseases, this book applies 22 health maintenance principles of food animal management to aquaculture and discusses how these principles improve the health of cultured fish. Viral and bacterial diseases are organized according to the species, families or groups of fish most affected by the pathogens. The text covers diseases that affect cultured fish in North America,as well as diseases of international concern. It emphasizes the management and therapeutic treatment of diseases.
