This revised edition fills the need for an up-to-date comprehensive book on the biological aspects of the bacterial taxa which cause disease in fish. Since the 3rd edition was published in 1999, much has changed in the control of disease of farmed and wild fish. This book analyses all the new information, including that on new pathogens and new developments on long established diseases, such as furunculosis and vibriosis. Consideration is given to all of the bacterial taxa which have at some time been reported as fish pathogens, whether they are secondary invaders of already damaged tissue or serious, primary pathogens.

This document summarizes more than four decades of statistics of apparent consumption of fish and fishery products based on supply/utilization accounts for 223 countries, six continental aggregates, four economic groupings and world totals. Data are given for total and per capita supply in live weight on a yearly basis. Indicative nutritional values in terms of animal and total proteins are also provided. For 40 major food fish consuming countries, balances are provided for supply in quantities and nutritional factors of eight main groups of species of similar biological characteristics. A section comprising descriptive and analytical graphs supplements the data.
