The manual contain detailed information about the finfish anatomy, farm visits, fish reflexes/behavior, possible etiologies/ description of the lesions of the most common finfish diseases, transportation, anesthesia, sampling, laboratory bacteriological and parasitological examination. The last chapter of the manual is a briefed colored atlas of fish anatomy. Ultimately, the manual will be very useful guide to aquatic veterinarians, fish biologists, veterinary students, wildlife/fisheries students, biology students and aquatic veterinary technicians.
