Observations on Vibriosis in Cultured Flatfish

  • Conference paper
Fish Diseases

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

The principal restraints to future development are the supply of young fish, development of adequate diets and suitable husbandry techniques and the control of disease.
