Fish Diseases: Prevention and Control
Strategies provides essential
information on disease prevention and
treatment by the most experienced fish
culturists in the industry. The book
presents both traditional and novel
methodologies of identifying and
addressing fish disease risk, along with
preventative and responsive insights to
the challenges impacting fish production
today.
Both specific (vaccination) and
non-specific (immunostimulation)
approaches are explored, from maintaining
optimal environmental conditions, to
understanding how stressors in fish affect
their immune system.
