"The second edition of Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment
is a welcome update of the 1996 original. Enlarged to include
130 pages of new information and generously illustrated with color
photographs and black-and-white diagrams, this text should serve as
a resource for practitioners who occasionally treat pet fish as
well as for dedicated fish disease diagnosticians. Reasonably
priced, this comprehensive text is a useful addition to the library
of any veterinarian engaged in fish medicine and diagnostics.
(Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association,
December 2010)

"This is a welcome expansion of the first edition. It offers a
much expanded clinical methods section, several new and/or newly
organized problems, and presentation of enhanced and updated
treatment options. Altogether, new information has increased the
page count by 130 pages. This book remains unique in its clinical
as well as academic usefulness. The clinical focus makes it stand
out from other important fish medicine and disease references, and
its ease of use makes it a popular first choice of professionals in
the field." (Doody's, December 2010)

"The second updated edition of Edward J. Noga's FISH DISEASE:
DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT (9780813806976) is a 'must' for any
aquatic biologist or fish health specialist. The newly updated
edition expands clinical work-up insights, coverage of fish
pathogen identification, and more, providing updates on diagnosis,
treatment, and issues affecting overall environmental health. The
result is a top pick filled with technical detail and the latest
research, recommended for any college-level collection!" (The
Midwest Book Review, October 2010)
