This book contains topics on the role of climatic factors on the epidemiology, prevalence, distribution, prevention and control of fish diseases. The 25 chapters that are divided into three main parts that discuss freshwater ecosystems and biological sequestrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide;...

This chapter focuses on changes due to anthropogenic activities, invasive fish species and changes in biodiversity in freshwater lakes and rivers in South East Asia. SE Asia's fresh waters are expected to be under increasing pressure from the region's rapidly growing human population. This will...

This chapter presents a brief description of Striped jack nervous necrosis virus; its geographical distribution and its potential spread to new location(s) and/or novel host(s); its clinical signs and diagnosis; pathology (gross and histological lesions) and pathobiology, which includes changes to...

The taxonomy, phylogenetics, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, control and effect of global warming on Vibrio spp. infections in turbot, sea bass, sea bream and cod are described.

This chapter describes the epidemiology, prevalence, distribution, risk factors, transmission, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, control and effect of climate change on Aeromonas salmonicida infection in fishes.

A brief description of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in fishes as well as its diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and control were discussed in this chapter.

The current volume, entitled Climate Change and Non-infectious Fish Disorders (CCNFD) is the first of the two-volume set, and it focuses on the development, physiology and health of fish. CCNFD has 11 chapters organized into two parts. Chapters 1 and 2 (Part I) are mainly for aquatic biologists...

This chapter presents an overview (both and current) on climate change and non-infectious and infectious fish disorders. Highlight of this chapter focused on the following: weather and climate change, atmospheric warming and atmospheric carbon dioxide, milankovitch cycles, seasonal changes,...

This chapter presents updates on current conditions and expected changes on key abiotic parameters (i.e., temperature, rainfall, circulation, seawater carbonate chemistry, sea level, salinity, oxygen, nutrients) and the range of predicted impacts on key tropical marine and brackish water...

In this chapter, the author discussed the potential effects of climate change on the skeletal abnormalities. Two effects were highlighted namely the altered meristic counts which is the variation in the number of the species-specific countable structures partly heritable and partly dependent on a...
