 Author N B Buller Senior Microbiologist and Group Leader Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia | A Practical Identification Manual 16 pages of colour plates to aid identification. Only published text available where all relevant material is referenced together. This manual enables the isolation and identification of bacteria that are found in aquatic animals (particularly fish). The emphasis is on bacteria from farmed aquatic animals (fish,molluscs and crustacea) but some attention is also given to other marine and freshwater animals such as mammals and birds, both captive (as in zoos) or wild, as well as aquarium fish. This book is a neccessary guideline for researchers and diagnostic laboratories in veterinary science, aquaculture and related aquatic sciences, and microbiology. |

Valerie Inglis Ronald J. Roberts Niall R.Bromage | This book has been written as a standard text for students in aquaculture, veterinarians, fisheries scientists and microbiologists interested in diagnosis or management of fish diseases. Bacterial diseases are the most important causes of losses among fish farm stocks and a full understanding is essential for successful therapy and control. This book has been written as a standard text and is intended for students in aquaculture, veterinarians and microbiologists whose remit includes diagnosis or management of fish diseases and for those fisheries scientists who need to know more about bacterial agents of disease in relation to management of fish stocks or production facilities. It is relevant also to workers in the pharmaceutical industry concerned with the development of products aimed at the fish health market and to monitors of human foodstuffs and public health. The incidence of bacterial diseases in fish in general, and in aquaculture in particular, varies greatly around the world and contributions are included from international authorities directly involved with their management. Emphasis has been placed on the aetiological agents, their taxonomy, biochemisty, immunology and pathogenicity. Based on an improved scientific understanding of the pathogen and the host-pathogen relationship , control measures are considered. Chapters have been included on isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria and on the interaction of bacterial pathogens and human health both directly and as a result of treatment measures. Less important conditions have also been added to ensure that the work is a uniquely comprehensive text on fish bacteriology. |

 | Pathobiology and Protection Focusing on pathobiology and protective strategies against protozoan and metazoan parasites of fish, this book reviews the latest research on important parasites: those that cause financial hardships to the aquaculture industry, have been introduced to new geographical regions through transportation of infected fish, are pathogenic to groups of finfish and detrimental to production, are highly adaptable and not host-specific with worldwide distributions, and that may serve as disease models for studies on other pathogens. It also highlights gaps in the knowledge to help direct future research |

Hartford Williams Publication: CRC Press Date Published:- USA 1995 | Fish are a unique group which harbour some 30,000 species of helminths that do not occur in other vertebrates. This book deals specifically with parasitic worms of fish. It covers every aspect of their biology including identification, life-cycles, hostparasite relationships and ecology. It discusses approaches to studying parasitic worm infections, preference of species for particular host species, preference for dwelling in certain organs and tissues, biogeography, seasonality of infections and how parasites have evolved in parallel with their hosts. The book concludes with discussions of fish worms causing diseases in nature and in fish-farms. This section also addresses the value of parasitic worms in extending knowledge of the environments in which fish and their parasites dwell, from the use of worms as indicators of pollution or for determining the location, migrations, and feeding behavior of fish stocks. With the growth in fish farming such parasites have considerable economic as well as scientific significance.; This volume provides an account of these helminths and reviews how studies on fish worms have increased current knowledge of worm biology in general.; The bibliography contains over 3500 references and an appendix summarizes important information on biochemistry and physiology of fish worms. |

Glenn L. Hoffman Publisher: Cornell University Press Number of Pages: 539 Published: 1999-05 | A remarkable accomplishment. . . . [This volume] has been and will continue to be a major force advancing freshwater fish parasitology."--Ernest H. Williams Jr., from the Foreword This thoroughly revised and updated edition of a classic reference work is the definitive guide to the identification of the parasites of freshwater fishes of North America. The book provides information on public health concerns about fish parasites, the methods used to examine fish for parasites, and those parasites found only in very selective organs or tissues. It lists the known species of each genus, along with reference citations that enable readers to find literature pertinent to species identification, life cycles, and in some cases, control. In the heart of the book, each chapter opens with a description of a phylum and its relevant families and genera, followed by a species list for those genera. Drawings illustrate a representative of each genus, and are supplemented by photographic examples. Many new parasites of North American freshwater fishes have been discovered since the publication of the first edition thirty years ago. For this new edition, the author has added new species accounts and revised the taxonomy, expanded descriptions and discussion of the most important fish parasites, provided a glossary to aid nonspecialists, and updated the reference list through 1992. The volume features twice as many illustrations as the first edition, including the addition of 33 color photographs. |
