Emerging Issues in Fish Larvae Research

By Manuel Yúfera

Emerging Issues in Fish Larvae Research PDF deals with the fundamentals of key physiological mechanisms involved in the development and growth of fish larvae. Chapters included show how the environmental and nutritional conditions are affecting the developmental process from its molecular basis and how these same conditions also influence the final characteristics of late larvae and fry. This volume provides recent findings on the importance of environmental rhythms, some specific nutrients and the adequate microbial environment in the developmental processes including recent results of current research projects.

Findings of recent or current ongoing research projects on fish larvae physiology
New previously unseen aspects on developmental physiology of fish larvae
Looks at new views and research approaches on old questions
Includes topics such as environmental cycles, biological rhythms, nutritional modulation, feeding and
development and more

Encyclopedia of Aquarium and Pond Fish

By David Alderton

Encyclopedia of Aquarium and Pond Fish PDF is the most complete owner’s manual for keeping all types of freshwater and marine fish. The book will take you through all the options in choosing the right fish for any water temperature – tropical and coldwater – and for all types of environment – indoor aquariums or outdoor ponds. Know the difference between keeping marine fish and freshwater fish, including differences in aquarium setups, and feeding and caring for your pet fish. Learn to tell if your fish are healthy and find out everything you need to breed them successfully. The Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish contains a huge photographic colour reference directory of over 800 of the most popular fish, which not only shows you what they look like, but also gives you the key information you need, such as how big they will grow, whether they integrate with different fish, what food they eat, and what water type and temperature they prefer.

Clinical Laboratory Animal Medicine: An Introduction, 5th Edition

By Lesley A. Colby, Megan H. Nowland and Lucy H. Kennedy

Clinical Laboratory Animal Medicine: An Introduction, 5th Edition PDF is an accessible guide to basic information for conducting animal research safely and responsibly. It includes a review of the unique anatomic and physiologic characteristics of laboratory animals, husbandry practices, and veterinary care of many animals frequently used in research, including rodents, rabbits, ferrets, zebrafish, nonhuman primates, and agricultural animals.

The updated fifth edition adds two new chapters on zebrafish and large animals, new information on transgenic models and genetic editing, and expanded coverage of environmental enrichment and pain management. The book presents helpful tip boxes, images, and review questions to aid in comprehension and learning, and a companion website provides editable review questions and answers, instructional PowerPoints, and additional images not found in the book. This important text:

Provides a complete introduction to laboratory animal husbandry, diseases, and treatments
Offers a user-friendly format with helpful content that highlights important concepts
Contains new knowledge relating to technical methodologies, diseases, drug dosages, laws and regulations, and organizations
Covers information on regulations, facilities, equipment, housing, and research variables as well as veterinary care
Includes new chapters on zebrafish and cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs

Written for veterinary technicians, veterinary students, practicing veterinarians, and research scientists, the fifth edition of Clinical Laboratory Animal Medicine continues to offer an essential guide to the ethical treatment and anatomic and physiological characteristics of research animals.

BSAVA Guide to Pain Management in Small Animal Practice

By Ian Self

BSAVA Guide to Pain Management in Small Animal Practice PDF is an essential reference guide for use in daily practice by all members of the veterinary team. Presented in an easy-to-read instructional format, this guide is intended to give practitioners practical information on pain management for small animals, including cats and dogs, birds, rabbits and exotic pets, with an emphasis on patient welfare and evidence-based medicine.

The early chapters lay the foundations of pain management, including the physiology of pain, acute and chronic pain, pharmacological treatment and physical treatment. The following chapters focus on particular pain scenarios, such as dental pain and cancer pain, using authors’ perspectives and case examples to enhance guidelines.

Logically organized to lead the reader through the clinical decision-making process, Equine Pharmacology is a user-friendly reference for pharmacological information on the horse.

The book begins with a general review section presenting the principles of antimicrobials, anesthesia, analgesics, anti-parasitics, foals, fluid therapy, and drug and medication control programs. The remainder of the book is devoted to a body systems approach to therapeutics, allowing the reader to search by affected system or specific disease to find detailed advice on drug therapy.
