Aquaculture Health Management: Design and Operation Approaches is an essential reference for the diverse aquaculture community. With the steadily increasing importance of healthy fish production and the expansion of the animal aquaculture industry to new geographic areas, new microbial and parasitic species with pathogenic potential continue to emerge. The book covers the broad spectrum of fish and shellfish health, the functional roles of pathogen emergence, and the impacts of nutrition and preventative medicine such as pre- and probiotics, as well as chemical treatments, relevant legislation and more.
This reference takes a comprehensive approach to understanding overall fish health management, making it valuable to aquaculturists, practitioners in aquatic animal health, veterinarians and all those in industry, government or academia who are interested in aquaculture and fisheries and their sustainable futures.

Dr. Mark Powell is Adjunct Professor of Fish Pathology for the Department of Biology at University of Bergen in Norway. He is CEO of Marineholmen RASLab AS and has held roles such as Regional Manager and Senior Researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and a senior research scientist at the Institute of Marine Research. He has worked with fish health management in aquaculture for the past 20 years with particular reference to gill and cardiac diseases and disorders. He obtained his PhD from the University of Ottawa, Canada, in fish physiology and subsequently worked in Canada, Australia, and Europe focusing on fish health management and host–pathogen interactions.
