Infos

The 3rd edition of Diseases and Disorders of Finfish in Cage Culture has been renamed and thoroughly updated and revised, and includes new chapters on the effects of climate change on the biology of finfish and its pathogens, as well as fish welfare and biosecurity.

---

This, the third volume in the series Climate Change and Fish Health, describes how finfish in cage culture and their pathogens are directly or indirectly affected by ongoing changes to the environment. These changes, which include a global rise in water temperature with increased acidification and reduction in dissolved oxygen, will continue even if we can significantly reduce the current output of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane.

The third edition of Diseases and Disorders of Finfish in Cage Culture has been renamed to be included in the series, and is completely updated and revised. It has:

· Nine updated chapters with new expert contributions from around the world
· A focus on the effects that climate change has, and will have, on finfish and their pathogens
· New material includes chapters on algal blooms, biosecurity and fish welfare
· An emphasis on practical recommendations and changes that can be made to improve fish health

This book is key reading for all involved in cage culture of finfish, research scientists, ecologists, fish health consultants, veterinarians, policy makers and all who are interested in fish health and changes to the environment. It is a good reference text for 'workshops on fish health' and academic courses such as aquaculture and fish health.

The other volumes in the Climate Change and Fish Health series are:
Climate change and non-infectious fish disorders, Woo and Iwama (2020)
Climate change and infectious fish diseases, Woo, Leong and Buchmann (2020).

Autor

Patrick T K Woo (Edited By) Patrick T K Woo (ptkw) is University Professor Emeritus, University of Guelph, and has been a faculty member since 1974. His research program focused on parasitic flagellates which included those of medical and economic importance. The program had continuous NSERC support for over 40 years, until he closed his laboratory at U of G so he could, with his co-editors, focus on formulating and editing an interdisciplinary book series on 'climate change and fish health'. Patrick's research and travels, sponsored by other agencies (e.g. FAO, United Nations; National University of Singapore; CNPq, Brazil; MEC, Spain; NEC, Cdn.; CIDA, Cdn.; IDRC, Cdn) allowed him to work with colleagues in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas (e.g. 'determine the toxicity of cadmium on tilapia and its effects on immune response' in Singapore; 'develop and evaluate diagnostic techniques for human trypanosomiasis' in E & W Africa; 'adapt an in vitro method to study fish innate immunity' in Spain). In addition to publishing papers and review articles in journals and books, Patrick edited a special journal issue and 14 academic books on fish health. He also founded 'The Roy C Anderson Memorial Lecture in Parasitology'. He has also consulted to industry, universities and government agencies.
