Fish Pathology by Organ Systems provides fisheries researchers with a comprehensive and modern compendium of microscopic lesions of various fish diseases organized according to organ system. With aquaculture set to play a critical role in global food security in the coming decades, there is a growing need among the academic and research community to stay up to date with contemporary pathology terms for farmed finfish. 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 general pathology before delving into organ systems, including the skin, gills and pseudobranchs, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and circulatory systems, hematopoietic system, immune system, digestive system, osmoregulatory system, nervous and sensory systems, endocrine and reproductive systems, and swim bladders. Sub-chapters systematically examine aetiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, 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 academic research into emerging fish pathologies. It is an indispensable tool for researchers, instructors, and advanced graduate students requiring a comprehensive visual reference book in fish pathology. - Describes fish diseases by organ system using contemporary pathology terms - Covers current fish diseases including new emerging pathologies in finfish aquaculture - Provides high-resolution color photomicrographs of gross- and histopathological lesions of fish diseases to improve clinical diagnosis
