Godoy delivers an essential, up-to-date resource for anyone working to protect aquatic animal health in a rapidly changing global industry. This authoritative volume cuts through complexity to reveal practical strategies for diagnosing, managing, and preventing viral disease in fish and shellfish.

Built on decades of research and field experience, the second edition expands coverage of emerging pathogens, molecular diagnostics, epidemiology, vaccine development, and on-farm biosecurity. Clear explanations of viral life cycles, transmission pathways, and environmental drivers equip readers to anticipate outbreaks—from salmon farms in the North Atlantic to shrimp operations across the Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Case studies and real-world examples demonstrate how surveillance, rapid diagnosis, and best-practice management reduce economic losses and protect food security.
