The discovery of new diseases and improved methods of diagnosis necessitated production of this greatly expanded and updated version of a classic handbook. The book covers the culture, anatomy and husbandry of salmonids, infectious diseases and diagnosis on the farm, diseases of eggs, sac-fry, early geeding, growers and marine culture, nutritional diseases, fish kills, diseases of wild fish and brood stock, prevention and treatment. The fist edition was successful because it did not presuppose any prior knowledge of fish biology or pathology and used common names where they would not cause confusion. It was valuable to fish breeders, proved a unique reference source for scientists and was a recommended test for students at many levels.

It is now ten years since the last edition of this classic text appeared, since when the growth of salmon and trout culture around the world has led to the emergence of many new and distinctive problems. This new third edition is greatly revised, with considerable use of colour illustrations, and provides a wealth of information hitherto unavailable to the farmer on new diseases and on new problems with older ones. It also addresses the newer production technologies and their diseases problems and the new treatments such as vaccines which were merely promising research topics when the last edition was produced. This text is the product of fifty years' combined experience of the salmon farming industry by two veterinarians who have been involved from the very start.
