Systemic Pathology of Fish

Systemic Pathology of Fish

This veterinary pathology reference and atlas provides a detailed examination of normal and diseased tissues in teleost fish. Using a systematic, organ-based approach, it explains how different tissues respond to injury, infection, environmental stress, and other disease processes. Covering freshwater and marine species from farmed, aquarium, and wild environments, the book combines comprehensive text with extensive histological images to support the study and diagnosis of fish diseases.
