Fish Pathology by Disease Causation: Bacterial, Fungal, Viral, Parasitic, Neoplastic, Non-Infectious, and Idiopathic Diseases provides the current state of knowledge on important or emerging infectious and non-infectious diseases in farmed finfish. With aquaculture set to play a critical role in global food security in the coming decades, there is a growing need among aquaculture professionals to accurately identify finfish diseases for early and effective intervention. Because pathology is a visual discipline, this book presents high-resolution color photomicrographs of gross- and histopathological lesions to facilitate clinical diagnoses. Written by two internationally recognized experts in the field of fish pathology, this book offers a broad introduction to fish anatomy, physiology, descriptive pathology, and methods for post-mortem examination. Subsequent chapters delve into bacterial, fungal, viral, parasitic, neoplastic, non-infectious, and idiopathic diseases. Sub-chapters systematically examine the cause, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and macro and micro presentations of each disease. The authors advise on diagnosis, effective prevention, and sustainable control of each disease. Fish Pathology by Disease Causation serves a broad audience seeking a reference to support clinical diagnostics of farmed finfish. It is an indispensable tool for clinical practitioners, field aquaculture personnel, and fish farmers requiring a comprehensive visual reference book in fish pathology.
