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. <i>Aquaculture Biosecurity: Prevention, Control, and Eradication of Aquatic Animal Disease</i> provides valuable information that will increase success in combating infectious aquatic disease.<br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>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.<br /> </p> <p><br /> </p> <p>With contributions from renowned international experts, covering approaches to biosecurity policies and measures currently practiced, <i>Aquaculture Biosecurity: Prevention, Control, and Eradication of Aquatic Animal Disease</i> is a vital reference for all those concerned about protecting aquaculture from impacts of aquatic animal disease.</p>
