Clinical Guide to Fish Medicine

Clinical Guide to Fish Medicine

Designed as a practical resource, Clinical Guide to Fish Medicineprovides an evidence-based approach to the veterinary care of fish. This guide--written and edited by experts in the field--contains essential information on husbandry, diagnostics, and case management of bony and cartilaginous fish.

This important resource:

• Provides clinically relevant information on topics such as anatomy, water quality, life-support systems, nutrition, behavioral training, clinical examination, clinical pathology, diagnostic imaging, necropsy techniques, anesthesia and analgesia, surgery, medical treatment, and transport
• Describes common presenting problems of fish, including possible differentials and practical approaches
• Reviews key information on non-infectious and infectious diseases of fish in a concise format that is easily accessible in a clinical setting

Written for veterinarians, biologists, technicians, specialists, and students, Clinical Guide to Fish Medicine offers a comprehensive review of veterinary medicine of fish.
