Miêu tả
Tóm tắt:As for the first edition of this volume, the chapters comprise comprehensive discussions of the some of the major non-infectious disorders of finfish. It is the second volume of a threevolume series on fish diseases and disorders; Volume 1 deals with parasitic diseases and Volume 3 with microbial diseases. Reviews in the three volumes are written by leading international authorities who are actively working in the area or who have contributed greatly to our understanding of specific diseases or disorders. The present book includes non-infectious disorders of development and growth and various aspects of the physiology of wild and captive species, including nutritional physiology, feeding activity, cardiovascular physiology, ionic and osmotic regulation, stress physiology, reproduction and endocrine physiology. In addition, chapters dealing with issues related to the diagnosis of non-infectious disorders, tumourigenesis and problems related to supersaturated gas issues in aquaculture practice are included. Because of the increasing concern of the effects of ‘anthropogenic’ chemicals on aquatic organisms, particularly, but not exclusively, those that act as hormone mimics or hormone-disrupting chemicals, several chapters address this issue from different perspectives. These chapters review the known effects of such chemicals on the endocrine, reproductive and immune systems, and explore the use of fish as sentinel organisms for the detection of such chemicals and monitoring of ‘ecosystem health’. In addition, because of the increasing interest in animal welfare issues in aquaculture practice, a chapter dealing with this topic is included in this volume. The second edition attempts to address emerging areas of interest and concern in fisheries health in both wild populations and captive stock, and to reflect changing attitudes toward the interpretation of fish health issues and the affects of non-infectious disorders on production issues in the wild and captive fish stocks. Several chapters are included that were not present in the first edition; new authors have contributed to some of the chapters that were present in the first edition, and some chapters have been updated from the first edition.
