ABI 50A: Animal Biology Lab

2009. Steven Cooke. “Centrarchids are ecologically and commercially extremely important, including species such as Largemouth Bass and Bluegill Contains vital and commercially important information for fisheries managers An essential reference source for graduate students and academics Covers an important multi-billion dollar industry across many countries.”

2012. P.T.K. Woo. “This book covers protozoa and metazoan parasites that cause disease and mortality in economically important fishes. All chapters are written by scientists who have considerable experience and expertise on the parasites. The selection of pathogens for inclusion in the book are made by the editors, and it is based on mumerous criteria of aquacultural importance. The book is targetted towards research scientists in aquaculture industry and universities, fish health consultants, fish health specialists, students, veterinarians, aquaculturists and laboratory managers.“

2004. Graham C. Learn. “Many different kinds of animals have adopted a parasitic life style on the skin and gills of freshwater fishes. This book explores the remarkable biology of these animals. It considers for each group of parasites: how they find their hosts, how they attach, feed and reproduce, the damage they inflict and how the host’s immune system retaliates.”

1967. Glenn L. Hoffman. [2020 online reprint copy]
“This thoroughly revised and updated edition of a classic reference work is the definitive guide to the identification of the parasites of freshwater fishes of North America.” “The book provides information on public health concerns about fish parasites, the methods used to examine fish for parasites, and those parasites found only in very selective organs or tissues. It lists the known species of each genus, along with reference citations that enable readers to find literature pertinent to species identification, life cycles, and in some cases, control.”–Jacket
