As aquaculture continues to expand there is a need for greater  knowledge of medicinal treatments both for the prevention and  treatment of disease and for the economic husbandry of fish. This  book, the first of its kind, is written for a worldwide readership. It  is a reference manual for anyone involved in the selection of  medicines for administration to fish. It will also be useful to  administrators concerned with the legal control of aquaculture.   The first part covers issues which affect all medicine's methods of  administering drugs to fish, the various aspects of safety and the  relevant legislation in countries with important aquacultural  industries. Subsequent parts review the range of available medicinal  substances and present current knowledge of the pharmacology and  methods of use for each. Particular attention is given to safety  issues - for the fish, for the person administering the  medicine, for the consumer of medicated fish and for the environment.
