Fish parasites found in or on other animals and exotic
parasites are also discussed. Diagrams and a small
selection of color plates will increase one's
understanding of those wee beasties. Ornamental,
tropical and brackish to marine fish parasites are
also touched upon. Certainly that list doesn't include
all of the cases of parasites associated with aquarium
fish.
The text is no where near my old academic interests
and it isn't a casual read, but both as a N.A. fish
buff and as an aquarist, you will find it useful. (If
I can learn from it, you certainly can too.) It is one
of those works you go back to and grow with over time,
as questions arise.
If there is interest, I would order it fairly soon. It
has been offered for some time now and such books have
an annoying habit of selling out just as one finally
decides to put in an order.
Hamilton Books is a book renderer (I really hate that
term) which clears out books or editions going out of
print. Go to
http://www.hamiltonbook.com/hamiltonbook.storefront
and search for fish. That way you get a chance to skim
several other interesting titles while getting to the
Parasites title.
Hamilton Books has been very obliging the few times I
have ordered from them. Shipping is quite reasonable
too.
All the best!
