"The present work attempts to meet the requirements of the practical worker as well as those of the fish pathologist the fishery biologist and the veterinary surgeon who have chosen to specialise in the field of fish pathology and the parasitologist. It also endeavours to mention the most frequent parasites and diseases of marine fish. With the increasing pollution of our rivers lakes and coastal waters we are confronted by another serious problem. It seemed appropriate therefore to devote a detailed chapter to the effects which these waste waters have on the health of fish. The urgent necessity of such wastewater-biological questions is underlined every day by fish mortalities. . Fish are one of man's oldest foods; because of their importance as products rich in protein they range high in nutrition as a whole. In view of the rapid growth of the world population it seems advisable to be economical with this important source of protein. . But this can only be done if the causes treatment and prevention of fish diseases are well known. The aim of the present work is to offer a contribution toward this goal. " . Index.
