► Description: |
Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment,
Second Edition provides thorough, yet
concise, descriptions of viral, bacterial,
fungal, parasitic and noninfectious
diseases in an exhaustive number of fish
species. Now in full color with over 500
images, the book is designed as a
comprehensive guide to the identification
and treatment of both common and rare
problems encountered during the clinical
work-up. Diseases are discussed following
a systems-based approach, to ensure a
user-friendly and practical manual for
identifying problems.
"Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment,
Second Edition" is the must-have reference
for any aquaculturists, aquatic
biologists, or fish health specialists
dealing with diagnosing or treating fish
diseases.

PROBLEMS 77-88: Rule-out diagnoses 1
(Viral Infections): Presumptive diagnosis
is based upon the absence of other
etiologies combined with a diagnostically
appropriate history, clinical signs,
and/or pathology. Definitive diagnosis is
based upon presumptive diagnosis combined
with confirmation of viral presence (i.e.,
culture, immmunodiagnosis, gene test,
etc.) 77. Systemic viral diseases
(General) molecular probes 78. Channel
catfish virus disease 79. Infectious

84. Iridovirus diseases 85. Nodavirus
diseases 86. Koi herpesvirus disease 87.
Alphavirus diseases 88. Miscellaneous
viral infections and diseases 13. PROBLEMS
89-99: Rule-out diagnoses 2: Presumptive
diagnosis is based upon the absence of
other etiologies combined with a
diagnostically appropriate history,
clinical signs, and/or pathology.
Definitive diagnosis is based upon
presumptive evidence combined with
further, more extensive work-up with a
specific identification of the problem 89.
Nutritional deficiency 90. Hypercarbia 91.
Hydrogen sulfide poisoning 92.
Chlorine/chloramine poisoning 93. Heavy
metal poisoning 94. Cyanide poisoning 95.
Miscellaneous poisonings 96. Harmful algal
blooms 97. Acute ulceration
response/Environmental shock/delayed
mortality syndrome 98. Traumatic lesions
99. Genetic anomalies 14. PROBLEMS
100-102: Rule-out diagnoses 3: Presumptive
diagnosis is based upon the absence of
other etiologies combined with a
diagnostically appropriate history,
clinical signs, and/or pathology.
Definitive diagnosis is not possible since
the etiology is unknown (idiopathic) 100.
Lateral Line Depigmentation 101.
Senescence 102. Miscellaneous important
idiopathic diseases 15. PROBLEM 103:
