Diseases of Marine Animals – Volumes I to IV (from Protozoa to Mammalia).

This multi-author book series was planned and edited by Otto Kinne. A large and laudable amount of work was done by Dr. Gerhard Lauckner of the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland. The books were published between 1980 and 1990 by John Wiley & Sons and the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland. The books are now copyright of Otto Kinne at Inter-Research.

The "Diseases" books are freely available with open access.

Due to the large size of the files, we strongly recommend downloading them directly to your computer.
