Handbook of Pathogens and Diseases in Cephalopods ISBN: 9783030113292
Popis: This chapter reviews the mechanical (physical) and chemical (water quality) related pathologies that have been reported since cephalopods are maintained, reared or cultured in captivity. For the first time, it builds up on the existing knowledge from researchers and aquarists (which are represented as authors of the chapter) in order to provide the most updated and inclusive revision on this theme. It is organized in terms of pathologies that are reported and eventual described for one or more species, which are commonly kept for research and display purposes, and exemplified with photos when possible. It includes pathologies of the mantle, arms, eyes, shell; egg infections, malformations of the shell and eggs; and causes of disease or mortality related with water quality focusing on pH and trace elements.
