Clinical Guide to Fish Medicine
Designed as a practical resource, Clinical Guide to Fish Medicine provides 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.

Bericht
"It is new textbook that will quickly become one of the standard references for aquatic and exotic practitioners....The advantage of this textbook is the integration of newly cited literature to an overview of fish medicine that is accessible to any aquatic clinician. It is meant to be a concise clinical guide not an encyclopedic reference. It is also one of the only textbooks that provides a comprehensive perspective for cartilaginous species. The practical organization makes it a user-friendly tool for a busy practitioner." Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine 40 (2022) 83
