Abstract
THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM SALE. IT REMAINS AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED ACCESS. INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS MAY STILL BE PURCHASED
The aim of therapy is to treat the patient. This involves not only curing the fish and removing the pathogens but also eliminating the predisposing stress factors. Occasionally the morbidity, mortality or the extent of a disease may preclude the need for treatment and in those cases the welfare of the fish must be considered. This chapter analyses environmental improvement, first aid advice, specific medication, routes of administration, choice of drug, non-chemical control methods, supportive treatment, control and prevention, aquatic invertebrates, adverse reactions and human health and safety.
