Summary This book is the second edition of the first of three proposed volumes on diseases and disorders in freshwater and marine fishes (fin and shellfish). Since the publication of the first edition, a tremendous volume of research has been conducted on parasites, especially those that cause morbidity and mortality in fish. Like the first edition, this book deals with parasitic infections caused by protozoans and metazoans and each chapter deals with a specific disease/disorder or a group of closely related diseases. Its primary objective is to produce a comprehensive and authoritative review from experts who are actively working in the area or have contributed to the understanding of fish diseases/disorders. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of three new chapters and four of the original chapters have new authors. All other chapters have been thoroughly updated since the first edition was published in 1995. The book will be of significant interest to researchers and students of aquaculture, fisheries, parasitology and veterinary medicine
