Carp species thus represent over 50% of world fish production and are vital to the economic stability of several countries and global regions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is therefore crucial that the health of these cultured aquatic species is properly considered and maintained to ensure the sustainability of production and recent disease epidemics, for example grass carp reovirus infections in China and koi herpesvirus disease in Asia and Europe, have caused widespread and devastating effects on the aquaculture industries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book thus examines how the diseases of carp species can be properly identified, monitored, treated and prevented. It specializes on the most prominent globally occurring carp species, such as \u003ci\u003eCyprinus carpio\u003c\/i\u003e (common carp), the \u003ci\u003eCarassius\u003c\/i\u003e species, and the carp species that predominate in Europe and Asia, such as \u003ci\u003eCtenopharygodon idellus\u003c\/i\u003e (grass carp), \u003ci\u003eHypophthalmichthys molitrix\u003c\/i\u003e (silver carp), and \u003ci\u003eHypophthalmichthys nobilis\u003c\/i\u003e (bighead carp). It also looks at the more specialized production of certain species, for example \u003ci\u003eCatla catla \u003c\/i\u003e(Catla) and \u003ci\u003eLabeo rohita\u003c\/i\u003e (Roho), in the Indian subcontinent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the continuing importance of the carp group of fish, this user-friendly book presents a practical approach to disease diagnosis and treatment that covers both infectious and non-infectious diseases. The detail included about disease, clinical signs and the application of control strategies, such as management practices, therapeutics or vaccination, is an effort to considerably improve general fish health and welfare.","brand":"CABI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45608332460183,"sku":"9781836990000","price":15858.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781836990000.webp?v=1768599683","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/carps-9781836990000","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
