Focusing on pathobiology and protective strategies against protozoan and
metazoan parasites of fish, this book reviews the latest research on important
parasites: those that cause financial hardships to the aquaculture industry,
have been introduced to new geographical regions through transportation of
infected fish, are pathogenic to groups of finfish and detrimental to
production, are highly adaptable and not host-specific with worldwide
distributions, and that may serve as disease models for studies on other
pathogens. It also highlights gaps in the knowledge to help direct future
research.
