This valuable reference text concentrates on the infectious viral and bacterial diseases most important in aquaculture, and also addresses their existence in natural environments. The author organises the viral and bacterial diseases of fish into groups or families that are most extensively cultured. Dr. Plumb creates a balance between diseases of warmwater, coolwater, and coldwater fishes, and presents information on important disease problems not only in North America, but also around the world.

Plumb, PhD., one of the foremost authorities on infectious diseases of fish, is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures, Auburn University, Alabama. He has taught graduate courses in fish microbial diseases, investigates viral and bacterial diseases of fish, leads the Southeastern Cooperative Fish Disease Project, and advises internationally.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Plumb is past president of the Fish Health Section of the American Fisheries Society. Widely published, Plumb has also served on the editorial board of \u003ci\u003eThe Progressive Fish Culturist\u003c\/i\u003e and co-edited the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Aquatic Animal Health\u003c\/i\u003e, and currently is editorial advisor for Diseases of Aquatic Organisms.

Scientists report that viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents now infect many wild and all cultured fish species. In this timely and authoritative book, John Plumb provides a holistic approach to the identification, prevention, and management of infectious diseases.
