Opis

This text is a comprehensive review of aquatic animal pathobiology, covering infectious and non-infectious diseases of vertebrates such as marine mammals and fishes. Diseases of invertebrates, such as crustacea, mollusks and lower phyla are also included. The book provides critical information on viral, fungal, bacterial, parasitic and neoplastic diseases of fish and invertebrates. Pollution-associated diseases are emphasised, and a review on the effects of pollution on marine mammals is included.
