Synopsis

The book provides a wealth of practical information that would be very helpful to fish parasitologists, parasitology and aquaculture students, aquaculture scientists and laboratory technicians - Gad Baneth & Elias Papadopoulos, Veterinary Parasitology

Fish Parasites contains detailed outlines of the most up to date protocols for parasite isolation, culture and transmission, as well as detailed procedures for reproducing parasitic infections in a laboratory environment.

Protocols for tasks such as monitoring parasitic infection, isolating parasites and preparing parasite material are explained in detail. In addition, an introduction is provided to the biology and host interactions of each parasite discussed.

Fish Parasites provides an essential guide for those who are currently researching fish-parasite relations, as well as for those who may study fish health and welfare more generally or otherwise have broader interests in fish parasites.
