5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough and comprehensive reference, September 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fish Medicine, 1e (Hardcover)

This book is a very thorough review of the diseases affecting fish. Unlike other texts, this book covers medicine from a taxonomic perspective, grouping diseases by the major taxonomic groups that they affect. One can look up differentials for skin diseases in a certain species without running down the entire list of bacterial, viral, etc. The only disadvantage that I found in this book is that it is not the most current book, and some of the info needs to be updated or more things added.

This well illustrated (black & white) text is the most complete single volume reference on the subject of fish medicine and diseases. It is comprehensive, contains numerous unique and valuable tables, and is a must-have book for veterinarians, aquarists, biologists, and others working with diseaes and management of ornamental, game, and food fish species.

This review is from: Fish Medicine, 1e (Hardcover)

This is Stoskopf of Stoskopf's Fish Medicine. Because the book remains useful and is hard to obtain, I have arranged for it to be available in paper back as print on demand. It is in two volumes because of the limits of the printing process. It can be obtained by going to LULU.com and searching of fish medicine. An updated edition is in the works, but will be several volumes and several years in process. In the mean time, the original book is easier to obtain.
