Index.

"Carp and other cyprinid fish are vitally important to the
international fish farming market. Their deseases can have a very
significant impact on that market. This excellent book describes
many of those diseases and offers solutions in the form of both
prevention and cure of those diseases." (Fishing Boat World,
April 2004)

"This book will make an invaluable addition to the library of
any institution or individual involved with the study or management
of cyprinid fishes... a truly extensive work." (Ian J. Winfield,
Fish and Fisheries)

"This is really an excellent publication that deserves a space
on any fish textbook shelf" (Vaughan Lewis, FISH Magazine, May
2001)
