Description: "This completely revised and updated edition of Bacterial Fish Pathogens provides comprehensive coverage of these pathogens and, crucially, diagnostic methods of identification and techniques to isolate them. The authors discuss the strategies used to control bacterial fish diseases, and consider possible future trends in the study of pathogens. Finally, they review the emerging role of fish pathogens in human disease. This book will be an essential reference tool for practising aquaculturists, veterinary microbiologists, diagnosticians and post-graduate researchers in both industry and academia."--Jacket.
