► Description: |
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 fishes. Due to
the close proximity of other fish, aquatic
organisms, pollutants and water borne
pathogens, cage culture fish are
especially susceptible to disease. 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.
