Fish Vetting Essentials book reviewed by Prof. Anna Mercy.

Fish Vetting Essentials

This is a comprehensive guide which provides information not only on Fish diseases and medicines but also on the basic anatomy of fishes, categories of fishes, water quality parameters, diet and nutrition. Being a person who is working in the field of ornamental fishes for the last 20 years, I wish to comment that anybody who does not even have basic background of fish biology can use this book as a ready reference. Chapter on aquarium set up and water quality parameters provides very useful tips to aquarium hobbyists. Water sampling procedure and fish disease investigation are topics of great interest and use to fish farmers. Worthy of note is the photographs with which diseases can be identified. It contains a wealth of topics which has quick and easy accessibility.

Fish vetting medicines provide a wealth of information on medications that may be available for use by fish health professionals in the treatment of fish diseases. Both these books will be an asset to any fish keeper’s bookshelf/vet clinic.
