Toxicology Of Fishes 2nd edition

======================================================= TOXICOLOGY OF FISHES 2ND EDITION Professional Veterinary E-Book ======================================================= BOOK INFORMATION ---------------- Title: Toxicology Of Fishes 2nd edition Format: PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Aquatic Veterinary Medicine Specialty: Fish Toxicology, Aquatic Animal Health, Environmental Medicine DESCRIPTION ----------- Toxicology of Fishes, 2nd Edition stands as the definitive reference text for understanding the complex interactions between aquatic organisms and environmental toxicants. This comprehensive volume provides veterinary professionals, aquatic biologists, and environmental scientists with cutting-edge knowledge on the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying toxic responses in fish species. As aquaculture continues to expand globally and environmental contamination remains a critical concern, this authoritative resource addresses the urgent need for specialized expertise in fish toxicology and aquatic ecosystem health. This extensively revised second edition incorporates the latest research advances in aquatic toxicology, including emerging contaminants, endocrine disruption, immunotoxicity, and the effects of climate change on toxicant sensitivity in fish populations. The text systematically covers toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics specific to fish physiology, biomarkers of exposure and effect, risk assessment methodologies, and regulatory frameworks governing aquatic environmental quality. With contributions from leading international experts, this volume bridges fundamental toxicological principles with practical applications in aquaculture medicine, wild fisheries management, and environmental monitoring. The book provides invaluable guidance on diagnostic approaches to toxicological diseases in both farmed and wild fish populations, therapeutic interventions where applicable, and preventive strategies to minimize toxicant exposure. Whether addressing acute poisoning events, chronic low-level contamination, or complex mixture effects, this resource equips practitioners with the scientific foundation and clinical tools necessary to protect fish health and ensure sustainable aquatic food production in an increasingly challenged environment. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of toxicological principles specific to fish physiology, including unique aspects of aquatic respiration, osmoregulation, and xenobiotic metabolism • Detailed examination of major toxicant classes including heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, algal toxins, and emerging contaminants of concern • In-depth analysis of organ-specific toxicity affecting gills, liver, kidney, nervous system, reproductive organs, and immune function in fish species • Advanced discussion of molecular and cellular mechanisms of toxicity, including oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and endocrine disruption pathways • Practical guidance on toxicological risk assessment, water quality monitoring, biomarker applications, and diagnostic investigation of fish mortality events • Species-specific considerations for both freshwater and marine fish, covering commercially important aquaculture species and ecologically significant wild populations • Integration of environmental toxicology with clinical aquatic veterinary medicine, including case studies and evidence-based management strategies TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Aquatic veterinarians and fish health specialists managing farmed and ornamental fish populations • Veterinary students and residents pursuing specialization in aquatic animal medicine or environmental toxicology • Aquaculture professionals, fish farm managers, and aquatic animal health technicians requiring toxicology expertise • Environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists, and regulatory professionals involved in water quality assessment and fisheries management • Research scientists investigating aquatic toxicology, fish physiology, or environmental contaminant effects on aquatic ecosystems INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$400.00
