The Pacific Region Fish Health Program produces a publication called Fish Health News You Can Use.  The News covers all kind of fish health issues, and describes disease organisms, diseases, and management strategies.  Every issue includes many pictures and illustrations, and a very popular section of “Fun Factoids.”

The goal of the News is to provide information to hatchery staff that will help them to be stronger partners of our fish health staff, but much of the information would be interesting to anybody that wants to know more about fish health.
