Lindsay Ross & Barbara Ross 
Anaesthetic and Sedative Techniques for Aquatic Animals 

The second edition of Anaesthetic and Sedative Techniques for
Aquatic Animals provided the fisheries and aquaculture industry
with vital information on the use of sedation and anaesthetics in
the avoidance of stress and physical damage, which can easily be
caused by crowding, capture, handling, transportation and release.

Now fully revised and expanded, the third edition has maintained
its accessible format and incorporates much new emphasis on:

* Fish pain and welfare: a rapidly developing area of
interest and debate

* Anaesthesia and legislation: with an international
perspective

Personnel involved in the aquaculture industry including fish
farmers, fish veterinarians, fisheries scientists and fish
biologists along with small animal veterinarians, animal laboratory
managers and government and regulatory personnel will find this
book a valuable and practical resource.
