      Abstract.-The writer was afforded the opportunity, on an inservice training basis, to attend the Fish Diseases "long course" put on by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, at their Eastern Fish Disease Laboratory, Leetown, West Virginia. The "school" was a full-time operation, from August 28, 1972 to January 12, 1973. A highly competent teaching staff of eight persons (six with PhD's in special fields) covered the subjects of fish anatomy, physiology, parasitology, bacteriology, immunology, virology, and histopathology. In addition, distinguished visitors put on seminars. This report consists of a summary of the lectures, plus an extensive list of references.
