“"It is new textbook that will quickly become one of the standard references for aquatic and exotic practitioners....The advantage of this textbook is the integration of newly cited literature to an overview of fish medicine that is accessible to any aquatic clinician. It is meant to be a concise clinical guide not an encyclopedic reference. It is also one of the only textbooks that provides a comprehensive perspective for cartilaginous species. The practical organization makes it a user-friendly tool for a busy practitioner." Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine 40 (2022) 83”
