Systemic Pathology of Fish: A Text and Atlas of normal tissues in Teleosts and their Responses in Disease

This book is a histopathological description and atlas of normal and diseased tissues in common species of fish that are found in a range of environments, both freshwater and marine, and from farmed, aquarium and wild situations. It includes light, scanning and transmission electron micrographs.   Numerous high quality images of fish have been used to separate and introduce the chapters. The book is not intended to be simply a list of aetiologies found in various species under differing environments. The systemic approach to understanding disease has been maintained from the first edition, with chapters on all organ systems, and descriptions on how involved tissues respond to a variety of insults.   Includes an addional chapter on pathophysiology. The book now consists of 14 chapters, each with selected references, plus an index.
