A revision of the original Field Guide is necessary to update information in respect of recent changes to the National List as well as an increase in knowledge of diseases currently covered by original Field Guide. The revised Field Guide also needs to target a more technical audience than that of the original version and will be upgraded accordingly. Production of the Field Guide on CD ROM provides an excellent opportunity for wider and more efficient dissemination.
1. To update information in the existing Australian Aquatic Animal Disease Identification Field Guide, with improved data and to expand on the technical aspects of disease aetiology, diagnostics and response options, while remaining relevant to the non-technical audience
2. To produce the revised Field Guide in a cost-effective and easily distributed format
