Description
Furunculosis: Multidisciplinary Fish Disease Research presents a fascinating insight into the opinions and the controversies
which have led to current knowledge of this disease. It is the first book to cover one single fish disease by presenting not just the
reviews, but also critical examination of the progress made by various disciplines. The multidisciplinary approach of the book makes
it a valuable guide for veterinarians, fisheries biologists, and fish farm managers, as well as an excellent instructional text for students.
The volume explores current research strategies and projects what developments can be expected in each field.
Audience
Fish disease scientists in industry and academia; fish farm managers/companies, and suppliers; disease researchers, especially those in bacteriology.
