Climate Change on Diseases and Disorders of Finfish in Cage Culture [EPUB ebook] 

This, the third volume in the series Climate Change and Fish Health, describes how finfish in cage culture and their pathogens are directly or indirectly affected by ongoing changes to the environment. These changes, which include a global rise in water temperature with increased acidification and reduction in dissolved oxygen, will continue even if we can significantly reduce the current output of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane.

The third edition of Diseases and Disorders of Finfish in Cage Culture has been renamed to be included in the series, and is completely updated and revised. It has:

· Nine updated chapters with new expert contributions from around the world
· A focus on the effects that climate change has, and will have, on finfish and their pathogens
· New material includes chapters on algal blooms, biosecurity and fish welfare
· An emphasis on practical recommendations and changes that can be made to improve fish health

This book is key reading for all involved in cage culture of finfish, research scientists, ecologists, fish health consultants, veterinarians, policy makers and all who are interested in fish health and changes to the environment. It is a good reference text for ‘workshops on fish health’ and academic courses such as aquaculture and fish health.

The other volumes in the Climate Change and Fish Health series are:
Climate change and non-infectious fish disorders, Woo and Iwama (2020)
Climate change and infectious fish diseases, Woo, Leong and Buchmann (2020).

She is an elected member of the American Academy of Microbiology, served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Center of Tropical and Subtropical Aquaculture in Hawai’i, is Past President of the National Association of Marine Laboratories, and co-chair of the Ecosystem Science and Management Working Group for the NOAA Scientific Advisory Board. She served on the Executive Secretariat, US National Climate Assessment, and authored ‘Hawai’i & US Affiliated Pacific Islands’ for the Third National Climate Assessment, 2013. She was Viral Disease editor for Diseases of Aquatic Organisms and served on the Editorial Board of Marine Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Journal of Marine Biotechnology. Dr. Leong published over 150 research papers from the work of 18 doctoral and 6 M.S. students. She holds 3 patents for the first fish viral vaccine and the first DNA vaccine for aquacultured species in the U.S. Her laboratory described a new genus of Rhabdoviridae, the Novirhabdovirus, and the type virus, Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus, kills millions of salmonid fish each year. She has devoted much of her career to the development of vaccines and control strategies for diseases of aquatic organisms.
