Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
There are many organisms and clinical manifestations of fish disease that the practitioner does not encounter in other areas of veterinary practice. Fortunately, the identification of these organisms and manifestations is easy once the practitioner is shown how, where, and what to look for. This, in essence, forms the philosophical basis for the design of this book--to provide the simplest and most straightforward method for diagnosing fish diseases.
Distinctive features that set it apart from other publications include: a unique format that greatly facilitates the diagnosis; a uniform, concise, summary of hosts, disease prevalence, method of diagnosis, and method of treatment; the best and most demonstrable, high-quality illustrations of any fish disease book; the most comprehensive guide to diagnostic histopathology of fish disease; and the most user-friendly sections available on prophylaxis and treatment of diseases

Systemic Approach,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment (Hardcover)
This book has been very helpful as I begin my hobby in aquarium science. Fish will get sick and I like the systemic approach that this book takes. Many books on fish disease barely cover the surface and don't discuss anything but the most common ailments. Well done, well referenced.

the BEST,
By
This review is from: Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment (Hardcover)
Dr. Noga is the leading authority on fish diseases that those of us in the aquarium industry deal with on a daily basis. This book is full of knowledge and wonderful pictures as well that make diagnosis easier and treatment quicker. We use this book so often that this is the third copy that I have purchased. Definately a must have for any fish geek's book collection and/or reference shelf.
