2007 Edition of the Blue Book is Now Available!!

In 2003, the AFS-FHS released a new digital version of the FHS Blue Book.  In that version were many new diagnostic chapters, hundreds of color pictures, videos, and a new inspection section written jointly with the USFWS.  The latest version of the FHS Blue Book is ready for distribution and sale. This new edition contains an updated Fish Health Inspection Manual co-authored with the USFWS, many new Diagnostic Chapters, and (for the first time ever) QA/QC Guidelines for Fish Disease Laboratories. The new Diagnostic Chapters include seven shellfish disease chapters written by East and West Coast experts. These are all very up to date and lavishly illustrated. The new QA/QC document is the result of a multi-year, multi-agency, international collaboration (Patricia Barbash, Marilyn Blair, Dave Groman, Hui-Min Hsu, and Linda Vannest), and it provides detailed guidelines for fish health laboratories. Those with subscriptions to the Blue Book will be receiving their new copies very soon. Those wishing to purchase the Blue Book CD will find it by following the Bookstore links on the AFS web site or by going directly to the AFS bookstore.
