Abstract
In many cases, mortality is the first sign of a health problem. While these fish may appear to have died suddenly, owners have often overlooked the subtle signs of illness, particularly where there are many fish present in the same facility. This chapter explains investigations, systemic approach, environmental factors, infection, accident and predation.
