This practical book provides an updated resource for the identification of
bacteria found in animals inhabiting the aquatic environment, illustrated with
color photos. It contains expanded biochemical identification tables to include
newly identified pathogenic and saprophytic bacteria, molecular identification
tests now available for a greater number of aquatic bacterial pathogens, more
information on the pathogenesis and virulence of each organism and new coverage
of traditional and molecular identification of fungal pathogens and quality
assurance standards for laboratories.
