► Description: |
Cyprinids rank as one of the most
commercially important groups of
freshwater fishes and are exploited for
many purposes: as a human food source,
especially in Europe and Asia; as sport
fish; and as ornamental fish for ponds and
aquaria. Certain species are also cultured
as bait fish and several of the small
cyprinids such as the zebra fish have
become internationally accepted laboratory
models for toxicology testing and
molecular research. A thorough
understanding of cyprinid health and
diseases is fundamental to the successful
management and exploitation of these
fishes for freshwater fisheries,
pisciculture and ornamental productions.
This practical guide to disease diagnosis,
prevention and control includes numerous
colour plates and covers a comprehensive
array of diseases - infectious and
non-infectious - of cultivated and wild
cyprinids.
