With an ever increasing demand for seafood that cannot be met by
capture fisheries alone, growing pressure is being placed on
aquaculture production. However, infectious diseases are a major
constraint. Infectious disease in aquaculture: prevention and
control brings together a wealth of recent research on this problem
and its effective management. Part one considers the innate and
adaptive immune responses seen in fish and shellfish together with
the implications of these responses for disease control. The
specific immune response of molluscs and crustaceans is considered
in depth, along with the role of stress in resistance to infection.
Advances in disease diagnostics, veterinary drugs and vaccines are
discussed in part two, with quality assurance, the use and effects
of antibiotics and anti-parasitic drugs in aquaculture, and
developments in vaccination against fish are explored. Part three
focuses on the development of specific pathogen-free populations
and novel approaches for disease control. Specific pathogen free
shrimp stocks, developments in genomics and the use of bacteria and
bacteriophages as biological agents for disease control are
explored, before the management and use of natural antimicrobial
compounds. With its distinguished editor and expert team of
contributors, Infectious disease in aquaculture: prevention and
control provides managers of aquaculture facilities and scientists
working on disease in aquaculture with a comprehensive and
systematic overview of essential research in the prevention and
control of infectious disease.
