This book is an effort to reach the broadest diffusion of knowledge useful for both academic and productive sector.Aquaculture has been expanding in a fast rate, and further development should rely on the assimilation of scientific knowledge of diverse areas such as molecular and cellular biology, and ecology. Understanding the relation between farmed species and their pathogens and parasites, and this relation to environment is a great challenge.ContentsPrefacePart 1 Parasitic Diseases1 Transmission Biology of the Myxozoa2 Metazoan Parasites of the European Sea Bass Dicentrarchus labrax (Linnaeus 1758) (Pisces: Teleostei) from Corsica3 Parasitic Diseases in Cultured Marine Fish in Northwest MexicoPart 2 Bacterial Diseases4 Molecular Detection and Characterization of Furunculosis and Other Aeromonas Fish Infections5 An Overview of Virulence-Associated Factors of Gram-Negative Fish Pathogenic BacteriaPart 3 Antibiotics and Probiotics6 Antibiotics in Aquaculture - Use, Abuse and Alternatives7 The Use of Antibiotics in Shrimp Farming8 Probiotics in Aquaculture - Benefits to the Health, Technological Applications and Safety9 Probiotics in Aquaculture of Kuwait - Current State and ProspectPart 4 Applied Topics of Cellular and Molecular Biology10 Use of Microarray Technology to Improve DNA Vaccines in Fish Aquaculture - The Rhabdoviral Model11 Fighting Virus and Parasites with Fish Cytotoxic Cells12 Bacteriocins of Aquatic Microorganisms and Their Potential Applications in the Seafood Industry13 The Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Vertebra and Cellular Pathways to Vertebral DeformitiesPart 5 Ecological Impacts of Fish Farming14 Ecological Features of Large Neotropical Reservoirs and Its Relation to Health of Cage Reared FishPart 6 Work-Related Hazards - Prevention and Mitigation15 Aquacultural Safety and HealthPart 7 Spread of Pathogens from Marine Cage16 Spread of Pathogens from Marine Cage Aquaculture - A Potential Threat for Wild Fish Assemblages Under Protection Regimes?
