Aquaculture loses millions of dollars in revenue annually due to
aquatic animal diseases. Disease outbreaks continue to threaten
profitable and viable aquaculture operations throughout the world.
As a result, aquaculture biosecurity programs that address aquatic
animal pathogens and diseases have become an important focus for
the aquaculture industry. Aquaculture Biosecurity: Prevention,
Control, and Eradication of Aquatic Animal Disease provides
valuable information that will increase success in combating
infectious aquatic disease.

Key representatives of international, regional, and national
organizations presented their views on this important issue as part
of a special session at the 2004 World Aquaculture Society Annual
Conference. The chapters of this book cover a wealth of experience
from the varied perspectives of these experts on biosecurity,
policies, and measures to take the offensive against the spread of
diseases in aquatic animals.

With contributions from renowned international experts, covering
approaches to biosecurity policies and measures currently
practiced, Aquaculture Biosecurity: Prevention, Control, and
Eradication of Aquatic Animal Disease is a vital reference for
all those concerned about protecting aquaculture from impacts of
aquatic animal disease.
