Description

After the first edition, published in 1982, established itself as the main introductory textbook on marine parasitology, this edition has been reviewed to take account of recent advances. Now there is an additional chapter on the structure of marine parasite communities as well as new sections on pollution, translocations of hosts and parasites and on the effects of parasites on the aquaculture of marine fish molluscs and crustacea. The chapters covering ecological, zoogeographical and economic aspects have also been significantly changed. Aimed particularly at students and research workers in parasitology, the book will also be of interest to ecologists, biologists concerned with zoogeographical problems, and to fish and fisheries biologists.
