diseases

This book is a very thorough review of the diseases affecting fish. Unlike other texts, this book covers medicine from a taxonomic perspective, grouping diseases by the major taxonomic groups that they affect. One can look up differentials for skin diseases in a certain species without running down the entire list of bacterial, viral, etc. The only disadvantage that I found in this book is that it is not the most current book, and some of the info needs to be updated or more things added.

This well illustrated (black & white) text is the most complete single volume reference on the subject of fish medicine and diseases. It is comprehensive, contains numerous unique and valuable tables, and is a must-have book for veterinarians, aquarists, biologists, and others working with diseaes and management of ornamental, game, and food fish species.
