The book is filled with valuable and applicable information on dozens of topics, including how to manage aquatic life support systems for fish, history taking, natural history, anatomy, physiology, diagnostic techniques, anaesthesia, analgesia, and surgery.

Virtually all of the most important ornamental fish pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, are described and richly illustrated. There are also sections on fish welfare and conservation.
