In the early 1990s of the 20th century, the craze of softshell turtle farming swept across China with great fervor and unstoppable momentum. This book primarily focuses on researching diseases related to softshell turtles. Preventing and treating turtle diseases, like other types of farming, should prioritize prevention over treatment, with a combination of both. Overuse of medication is not advisable, as excessive drug use pollutes the turtles and harms human health. This book emphasizes selecting various methods, improving water quality, purifying water, and protecting the ecological environment to inspire readers and provide practical examples for imitation and reference. This is to help breed more and better fish and softshell turtles, providing the public with more high-quality protein and benefiting humanity.
Overall, this book plays a role in laying the groundwork for the prevention and treatment of softshell turtle diseases. It is hoped that the broader community of knowledgeable individuals will unite and strive to explore and master the fundamental principles of turtle disease prevention and treatment, pushing China's softshell turtle farming industry to new heights.
