Synopsis

Hematology is a vital tool for monitoring the health of and diagnosing disease in both humans and veterinary species. With the growth of aquaculture across the globe, it has also become increasingly necessary to understand and maintain fish health. Fish hematology thus has a significant potential to contribute to better fish farming practice through the application of clinical research. This book comprehensively covers all aspects of fish hematology and describes the best techniques for blood sample collection and the analysis and interpretation of blood count. The morphological description of the blood cells of different species of fish is presented in a comparative manner with rich illustrations, and the book also includes a detailed discussion of the cytochemical methods applied in blood cell studies. Additionally, the book: Provides high-quality information about fish hematology in a well-organized and comprehensive manner. Gives a detailed description of best-practice techniques, from sample collection to handling and analysis. Addresses a knowledge gap in the guidance and scientific training of new veterinary professionals. Written for all levels of academic ability, this book is an essential resource for anyone working within fish hematology and, with interest in the topic growing, it presents the first complete picture of the subject.
