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.
