The
keeping of ornamental fishes is the biggest animal related hobby
in the world. Many textbooks and most of the related literature
focus on diseases of fish designated for human consumption, especially
aquaculture species. This Self-Assessment Colour Review provides
the reader with over 250 clinical cases and covers all of the important
medical and surgical conditions found in ornamental fishes. The
well illustrated cases appear randomly and are targeted at different
levels of expertise. In addition, questions pertaining to fish anatomy,
physiology, husbandry, and identification have been included to
make this text both educational and comprehensive.
A
team of internationally known and respected authors have written
the questions and detailed explanatory answers, and Dr Lewbart has
edited the text so that it is practical, informative and easy to
read. Veterinary practitioners, professional aquarists, hobbyists,
and students will find this book to be a valuable addition to their
education and clinical training.
